Bis-triazolyl BODIPYs: a simple dye with strong red-light emission†
Abstract
The versatile synthesis of an unprecedented bis-triazolyl BODIPY dye displaying a high quantum yield even in water is described. X-ray diffraction analyses and NMR measurements demonstrate that the simultaneous presence of the two triazole moieties helps to re-enforce the rigidity of the BF2 complex.
