Bodipy recognizes polyaromatic hydrocarbons via C–H⋯F type weak H-bonding

Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) demonstrated unusual weak C–H⋯F type H-bonding interaction with meso-substituted Bodipy dyes (1–3) in ethanol medium. Isosbestic absorptions and enhancement of emission of Bodipy were spectroscopically detected with three chosen PAHs (naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene). IR, 1H and 19F NMR, cyclic voltammetry, powder X-ray and Monte Carlo simulation of adducts confirmed interaction of PAHs via C–H⋯F type H-bonding with the chosen dyes.
