Abstract
Molecular aggregation is a powerful tool for tuning advanced materials' photophysical and electronic properties. Here we present a novel potential for the aqueous-solvated aggregated state of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) to facilitate phototransformations otherwise achievable only under harsh chemical conditions. We show that the photoinduced symmetry-breaking charge separation state can itself initiate catalyst-free redox chemistry, leading to selective α-C(sp3)-H bond activation/Csp3-Csp3 coupling on the BODIPY backbone. The photoproduction progress was tracked by monitoring the evolution of the strong Stokes-shifted near-infrared emission, resulting from selective self-assembly of the terminal heterodimeric photoproduct into well-ordered J-aggregates, as revealed by X-ray structural analysis. These findings provide a facile and green route to further explore the promising frontier of packing-triggered selective photoconversions via supramolecular engineering.

Abstract
BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts were readily accessible from the high-yielding reaction of BODIPY with iodoarenes or hydroxyl(tosyloxy)iodoarenes in the presence of m-CPBA. The prepared BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts bearing substituents of varied electronic nature were utilized for the direct syntheses of thiocyanate, azide, amine and acrylate functionalized BODIPYs and β,β'-bis-BODIPYs. The regioselective syntheses of α-piperidinyl and β-piperidinyl substituted BODIPYs were achieved through the reaction of BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts with piperidine in the absence and presence of copper(I). Expeditious and high yielding (79-82%) synthesis of β,β'-bis-BODIPYs was also developed through the palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling of the easily accessible BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts. Some of the indole-appended BODIPYs and bis-BODIPYs displayed strong absorption in the visible region (∼610 nm). The BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts also showed significant binding with serum albumin and were observed to be selective serum protein sensors with estimated limits of detection as low as 7 μg mL-1 in some cases.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) are pivotal approaches for modeling electronically excited states of molecules. However, choosing a DFT exchange-correlation functional (XCF) among the myriad of alternatives is an overwhelming task that can affect the interpretation of results and lead to erroneous conclusions. The performance of these XCFs to describe the excited-state properties is often addressed by comparing them with high-level wave function methods or experimentally available vertical excitation energies; however, this is a limited analysis that relies on evaluation of a single point in the excited-state potential energy surface (PES). Different strategies have been proposed but are limited by the difficulty of experimentally accessing the electronic excited-state properties. In this work, we have tested the performance of 12 different XCFs and TD-DFT to describe the excited-state potential energy surface of Bodipy (2,6-diethyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-phenyldipyrromethene difluoroborate). We compare those results with resonance Raman spectra collected by using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). By simultaneously fitting the absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum, and all of the resonance Raman excitation profiles within the independent mode displaced harmonic oscillator (IMDHO) formalism, we can describe the PES at the Franck-Condon (FC) region and determine the solvent and intramolecular reorganization energy after relaxation. This allows a direct comparison of the TD-DFT output with experimental observables. Our analysis reveals that using vertical absorption energies might not be a good criterion to determine the best XCF for a given molecular system and that FSRS opens up a new way to benchmark the excited-state performance of XCFs of fluorescent dyes.

Abstract
Bodipy is one of the most versatile and studied functional dyes due to its myriad applications and tunable spectral properties. One of the strategies to adjust their properties is the formation of Bodipy dimers and oligomers whose properties differ significantly from the corresponding monomer. Recently, we have developed a novel strategy for synthesizing α,α-ethylene-bridged Bodipy dimers; however, their excited-state dynamics was heretofore unknown. This work presents the ultrafast excited-state dynamics of a novel α,α-ethylene-bridge Bodipy dimer and its monomeric parent. The dimer's steady-state absorption and fluorescence suggest a Coulombic interaction between the monomeric units' transition dipole moments (TDMs), forming what is often termed a "J-dimer". The excited-state properties of the dimer were studied using molecular excitonic theory and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). We chose the M06 exchange-correlation functional (XCF) based on its ability to reproduce the experimental oscillator strength and resonance Raman spectra. Ultrafast laser spectroscopy reveals symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) in the dimer in polar solvents and the subsequent population of the charge-separated ion-pair state. The charge separation rate falls into the normal regime, while the charge recombination is in the inverted regime. Conversely, in nonpolar solvents, the charge separation is thermodynamically not feasible. In contrast, the monomer's excited-state dynamics shows no dependence on the solvent polarity. Furthermore, we found no evidence of significant structural rearrangement upon photoexcitation, regardless of the deactivation pathway. After an extensive analysis of the electronic transitions, we concluded that the solvent fluctuations in the local environment around the dimer create an asymmetry that drives and stabilizes the charge separation. This work sheds light on the charge-transfer process in this new set of molecular systems and how excited-state dynamics can be modeled by combining the experiment and theory.

A brief overview of assembly model of BODIPY is then provided: BODIPY is introduced as a promising building block for the formation of single- and multicomponent self-assembled systems, including nanostructures suitable for aqueous environments, thereby showing the great development potential of supramolecular assembly in biomedicine applications. The frontier progress of BODIPY in biomedical application is thereafter described, supported by examples of the frontiers of biomedical applications of BODIPY-containing smart materials: it mainly involves the application of materials based on BODIPY building blocks and their assemblies in fluorescence bioimaging, photoacoustic imaging, disease treatment including photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy. Lastly, not only the current status of the BODIPY family in the biomedical field but also the challenges worth considering are summarized. At the same time, insights into the future development prospects of biomedically applicable BODIPY are provided.

Abstract
Radical transformations are powerful in organic synthesis for the construction of molecular scaffolds and introduction of functional groups. In radical difunctionalization reactions, the radicals in the first functionalized intermediates can be relocated through resonance, hydrogen atom or group transfer, and ring opening. The resulting radical intermediates can undertake the following paths for the second functionalization: (1) couple with other radical groups, (2) oxidize to cations and then react with nucleophiles, (3) reduce to anions and then react with electrophiles, (4) couple with metal-complexes. The rearrangements of radicals provide the opportunity for the synthesis of 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, and 1,7-difunctionalization products. Multiple ways to initiate the radical reaction coupling with intermediate radical rearrangements make the radical reactions good for difunctionalization at the remote positions. These reactions offer the advantages of synthetic efficiency, operation simplicity, and product diversity.
