Abstract
A titanium-mediated aza-BODIPY synthesis using diketopyrrolopyrrole bearing o-anisyl substituents provided B,O-chelated pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPYs in a one-pot manner via ether bond cleavage and chelation of the resulting nucleophilic oxygen to the boron atom. The B,O-chelation not only induces the redshifts of absorption and fluorescence but also endows chiroptical properties.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:15560-15570. [PMID: 38756482 PMCID: PMC11097754 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02861a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based chromophores are highly sought after for designing near-infrared (NIR) absorbing and emitting dyes as well as for designing materials for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. The properties of these 'push-pull' molecules can easily be modified by varying the electronic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups as well as the π-conjugation linker. This study presents a methodical approach and employs quantum chemical analysis to explore the relationship between the structural features, electro-optical properties, and the NLO characteristics of molecules with D-π-A framework. The one- and two-photon absorption (2PA), linear polarizability (α), and first hyperpolarizability (β) of some novel chromophores, consisting of a dimeric aza-Boron Dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) analogue, called, pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY (PPAB), serving as the acceptor, have been investigated. The electronic donors used in this study are triphenylamine (TPA) and diphenylamine (DPA), and they are conjugated to the acceptor via thienyl or phenylene π-linkers. Additionally, the Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering (βHRS), which enables direct estimation of the second-order NLO properties, is calculated for the studied chromophores with 1064 nm excitation in acetonitrile. The β value shows a significant increase with increasing solvent polarity, indicating that the ICT plays a crucial role in shaping the NLO response of the studied molecules. The enhancement of the 2PA cross-section of the investigated molecules can also be achieved by modulating the combinations of donors and linkers. The results of our study indicate that the novel D-π-A molecules designed in this work demonstrate considerably higher hyperpolarizability values than the standard p-nitroaniline, making them promising candidates for future NLO applications.

Abstract
A series of nitrogen-bridged BODIPY oligomers were synthesized via nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) as a convenient approach. Further transformations achieved novel α,α-aryl BODIPY dimers as well as a BODIPY hexamer efficiently. These BODIPY oligomers showed good photophysical properties, such as apparent absorption and emission both in visible and near-infrared regions. Interestingly, the high air and photothermal stability, strong NIR absorption, and high photothermal conversion rates of hexamer B6 suggest potential applications in photothermal therapy.

Abstract
A series of novel N,N-carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinone fluorophores have been directly constructed from α-halogenated dipyrrinones, which are conveniently obtained from the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of readily available α,α'-dihalodipyrrins. This novel methodology affords efficient modulation of the functional groups at both the meso- and α-positions of this fluorophore. These resultant dyes show tunable absorption and emission wavelengths, good molar absorption coefficients, relatively large Stokes shifts, and excellent fluorescence quantum yields up to 0.99, and have been successfully applied in both one- and two-photon fluorescence microscopy imaging in living cells.

Abstract
Through a strong oxidant Pb(OAc)4 promoted oxidative nucleophilic hydrogen substitution, site-selective direct and stepwise cyanation of BODIPYs using tetrabutylammonium cyanide was developed to give α-cyanated BODIPY derivatives. Characterization of optical and electrochemical properties of these dyes provides substantial enhancement of the electron affinity, with a reduction potential and LUMO level as low as -0.04 V and -4.43 eV, respectively. Radical anions of these electron-deficient 3,5-dicyanated BODIPYs were characterized by absorption and EPR spectroscopy.
