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.

Origin of intersystem crossing in highly distorted organic molecules: a case study with red light-absorbing N,N,O,O-boron-chelated Bodipys

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the relationship between twisted π-conjugation framework of aromatic chromophores and the efficacy of intersystem crossing (ISC) and found that the twisted framework does not necessarily induce ISC, but S1/Tn energy matching may be a generic feature for increasing ISC for a new generation of heavy atom-free triplet photosensitizers.
