Synthesis, Spectroscopic, Computational, and PDT Investigations of a Series of Cationic Meso -(3-pyridyl)-indolylstyryl-BODIPYs

Abstract Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes bearing a meso-(3-pyridyl) moiety have found multiple applications, such as pH and metal ion sensors, fluorescence probes, and as sensitizers for phototherapy. A series of 3-mono- and 3,5-di-indolylstyryl-BODIPYs bearing a meso-(3-pyrid...
