The chemistry of Bodipy: A new El Dorado for fluorescence tools

TLDR
In the steadily expanding field of fluorescent dyes, labels and electroluminescent materials difluoroboron-dipyrromethenes play a prominent role.
Abstract
In the steadily expanding field of fluorescent dyes, labels and electroluminescent materials difluoroboron-dipyrromethenes play a prominent role The review highlights recent advances made with these boron-stabilized cyanine dyes The chemistry at the boron atom and increase of delocalization on the organic core allows one to address the problems of Stokes’ shifts, colours and emission wavelengths spanning from green to the NIR The outcome is a diversity of molecules prepared by different strategies and exhibiting interesting and tunable spectroscopic, electrochemical and chemical properties This perspective article describes the scope and spectroscopic attributes of this new class of fluorescent dyes amenable to applications in various disciplines

Highly sensitive fluorescence probes for nitric oxide based on boron dipyrromethene chromophore-rational design of potentially useful bioimaging fluorescence probe.

TL;DR: The development of DAMBO-P(H), a highly sensitive fluorescence probe for nitric oxide (NO), was developed based on the BODIPY chromophore and the change of the fluorescence intensity was found to be controlled by an intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) mechanism.
