Tandem Acylation/C–H Functionalization Cyclization to Access Indanone-Fused BODIPYs and Their NIR-Emissive α,α-Dimers with Deep LUMO Levels

Abstract Mono- and bis-indanone-fused BODIPYs are synthesized via tandem acylation and intramolecular C–H functionalization cyclization. This rigid fused-ring framework extends the π-conjugated system, affording red-shifted, intense absorption/emission and high quantum yields (>0...
