Self-assembly via intermolecular hydrogen-bonding between o-/m-/p-NH2 and BF2 groups on dipyrromethenes

Boron difluoride dipyrromethenes bearing configurationally different amine groups on a meso-phenyl ring were prepared and crystallized. The ortho- and para-amino groups allow the phenyl group to inductively release greater electron density into the dipyrromethenes resulting in relatively strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding with the terminal BF₂ groups, whereas the meta-analog formed weaker hydrogen-bonds. The intensities of the ¹H NMR peaks in concentrated solutions all increased with F-decoupling.     

Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe Based on Novel Red-emission BODIPY for Determination of Bovine Serum Albumin

A novel red-emission boron-dipyrromethene（BODIPY） dye with a pyrrole ring was synthesized simply via one-pot reaction. The spectral properties of it were investigated under the conditions of different solvents. The results show that the as-prepared BODIPY dye is extremely sensitive to solvent polarity, and the fluorescent emission enhances with the decrease of solvent polarity. In aqueous buffer, the addition of bovine serum albumin leads to a ratiometric change in absorption spectra with an association constant of 1.16×10^6 L/mol. Meanwhile, the fluorescence emission increases greatly at 622 nm but changes slightly at 575 nm. The response time is very short（less than 3 min）, and the changes of color can be noticed by naked eyes. Bovine serum albumin can be detected by this ratiometric fluorescence probe, but other proteins or enzymes cannot be detected by this method, which indicates that this novel dye has high selectivity towards bovine serum albumin. The reason is that bovine serum albumin has suitable hydro- phobic cavities for binding with the dye. In addition, the dye molecule can penetrate cell membrane easily and make a fast fluorescent stain, which makes it a potential probe for living-cell fluorescence imaging.

Novel BODIPY-bridged cyclotriphosphazenes

Three new 2-component unsubstituted ( 4P ), diiodo- ( 5P ), and dibromo- ( 6P ) distyryl-BODIPY-bridged cyclotriphosphazene dimers were designed and synthesized. The newly synthesized BODIPY-cyclotriphosphazene systems were characterized by ¹ H, ¹³ C, and ³¹ P NMR spectroscopy. The photophysical properties of the distryl-BODIPYs (4–6) and BODIPY-cyclotriphosphazene dyads ( 4P – 6P ) were studied by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. In these derivatives, the bino-type cyclotriphosphazene derivative bearing unsubstituted BODIPY unit 4P exhibited high fluorescence and no singlet oxygen generation due to the lack of spin converter. The attachment of heavy atoms (iodine and bromine) enabled the production of singlet oxygen. The bino-type BODIPY-cyclotriphosphazenes ( 5P and 6P ) were also used as triplet photosensitizers in the photooxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran to endoperoxide via generation of the singlet oxygen in dichloromethane. The singlet oxygen production of these compounds was also investigated via a direct method and produced a singlet oxygen phosphorescence peak at 1270 nm.     

Synthesis of covalently linked boron-dipyrromethene-chromophore conjugates using 3-bromo boron-dipyrromethene as a key precursor

3-Bromo boron dipyrromethene (3-bromo BODIPY) has been used as key synthon to prepare one ethynyl bridged and six ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugates using mild Pd(0) coupling conditions. The chromophores possessing very distinct features, such as anthracene, BODIPY, terpyridine, porphyrin, Zn(II)porphyrin, 21,23-dithiaporphyrin and thiasapphyrin were connected at 3-position of boronboron-dipyrromethene dye by coupling of 3-bromo BODIPY with ethynyl or ethynylphenyl chromophore in toluene/triethylamine in the presence of catalytic amount of AsPh₃/Pd₂(dba)₃ at 40 °C followed by column chromatographic purification. The spectral studies indicated that the interaction is stronger in ethynyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugate compared to ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugates. The steady-state fluorescence indicated that in ethynyl bridged BODIPY-anthracene conjugate, the BODIPY unit act as energy acceptor and showed a possibility of energy transfer from donor anthracene unit to acceptor BODIPY unit on selective excitation of anthracene unit. However, in ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-porphyrin conjugates, the BODIPY unit act as energy donor and exhibited a possibility of singlet-singlet energy transfer from BODIPY unit to porphyrin unit.
