1O2 generation by BADs in living cells enables visualization of the dyads distribution, promising new imaging applications.
Abstract
Heavy atom-free BODIPY-anthracene dyads (BADs) generate locally excited triplet states by way of photoinduced electron transfer (PeT), followed by recombination of the resulting charge-separated states (CSS). Subsequent quenching of the triplet states by molecular oxygen produces singlet oxygen (1O2), which reacts with the anthracene moiety yielding highly fluorescent species. The steric demand of the alkyl substituents in the BODIPY subunit defines the site of 1O2 addition. Novel bis- and tetraepoxides and bicyclic acetal products, arising from rearrangements of anthracene endoperoxides were isolated and characterized. 1O2 generation by BADs in living cells enables visualization of the dyads distribution, promising new imaging applications.

Strategic Construction of Sulfur-Bridged BODIPY Dimers and Oligomers as Heavy-Atom-Free Photosensitizers.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient strategy for building sulfur-bridged oligo-BODIPYs based on the SNAr reaction is described, which showed broadband and strong visible-near-infrared (NIR) light absorption, strong intramolecular exciton coupling, and efficient intersystem crossing.

Charge Separation/Recombination, Intersystem Crossing, and Unusually Slow Intramolecular Triplet-Triplet Energy Transfer in Naphthalenediimide-Anthracene Compact Energy Donor-Acceptor Dyads.

TL;DR: In this paper , three anthracene (An)-naphthalenediimide (NDI) compact electron donor-acceptor dyads were prepared, and the intersystem crossing mechanism is spin orbit charge transfer ISC (SOCT-ISC) for all the dyads; for 9-An-NDI, only the 3An state was observed, while for the other two dyads, both 3NDI and 3An states were observed, with their relative population changing with increasing delay time.

The triplet excited state of Bodipy: formation, modulation and application

TL;DR: The methods for switching (or modulation) of the triplet excited state of Bodipy were discussed, such as those based on the photo-induced electron transfer (PET), by controlling the competing Förster-resonance-energy-transfer (FRET), or the intermolecular charge transfer (ICT).
