Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of photoactive arrays consisting of Bodipy scaffoldings is described. The synthetic strategy involved first the construction of functionalised modules, then the use of specific Knoevenagel reactions. Boron-protection is required to avoid self-condensation. Comparison of thienylBodipy dyes with their phenyl analogues showed them to be both less chemically stable and more weakly fluorescent. In the multichromophoric species, efficient ...
