Hydration‐Gated Photoinduced Electron Transfer in BODIPY Dyes

ABSTRACT Fluorescent probes based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) are widely used to image intracellular environments. Here we report donor–acceptor dyads based on the BODIPY chromophore in which PET is selectively activated upon hydration. Replacing fluorine groups at bo...
