Nano-assemblies from J-aggregated dyes to improve the selectivity of a H2S-activatable photosensitizer†
Abstract
We report J-aggregates of a boron dipyrromethene derivative (BDP-Nit) as an H2S-activatable nano-photosensitizer. The closely packed BDP-Nit in J-aggregates exhibits high selectivity to H2S over biothiols to produce an active photosensitizer.
