Utilization of BODIPY-based redox events to manipulate the Lewis acidity of fluorescent boranes

Abstract

This report describes the implementation of a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) dye into the ligand framework of a borane. The redox-active nature of the BODIPY dye is utilized to generate a family of molecular boranes that are capable of exhibiting tunable Lewis acidities through BODIPY-based redox events.
