Abstract
Two BODIPY-C60 -peptide assemblies were synthesized by CuAAC reactions of BODIPY-C60 dyads and a helical peptide functionalized with a terminal alkyne group and an azide group, respectively. The helical peptide within these assemblies was functionalized at its other end by a disulfide group, allowing formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces. Characterizations of these SAMs, as well as those of reference molecules (BODIPY-C60 -alkyl, C60 -peptide and BODIPY-peptide), were carried out by PM-IRRAS and cyclic voltammetry. BODIPY-C60 -peptide SAMs are more densely packed than BODIPY-C60 -alkyl and BODIPY-peptide based SAMs. These findings were attributed to the rigid peptide helical conformation along with peptide-peptide and C60 -C60 interactions within the monolayers. However, less dense monolayers were obtained with the target assemblies compared to the C60 -peptide, as the BODIPY entity likely disrupts organization within the monolayers. Finally, electron transfer kinetics measurements by ultra-fast electrochemistry experiments demonstrated that the helical peptide is a better electron mediator in comparison to alkyl chains. This property was exploited along with those of the BODIPY-C60 dyads in a photo-current generation experiment by converting the resulting excited and/or charge separated states from photo-illumination of the dyad into electrical energy.

Abstract
Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) and its derivatives play an important role in the area of organic fluorophore chemistry. Recently, the water-soluble boron-dipyrromethene dyes have increasingly received interest. The structural modification of the BODIPY core by incorporating different neutral and ionic hydrophilic groups makes it water-soluble. The important hydrophilic groups, such as quaternary ammonium, sulfonate, oligoethylene glycol, dicarboxylic acid, and sugar moieties significantly increase the solubility of these dyes in water while preserving their photophysical properties. As a result, these fluorescent dyes are utilized in aqueous systems for applications such as chemosensors, cell imaging, anticancer, biolabeling, biomedicine, metal ion detection, and photodynamic treatment. This review covers the most current developments in the design and synthesis of water-soluble BODIPY derivatives and their wide applications since 2014.

Abstract
We report herein a versatile and efficient bioorthogonal strategy to actualise targeted delivery and site-specific activation of photosensitisers for precise antitumoural photodynamic therapy. The strategy involved the use of an isonitrile-caged distyryl boron dipyrromethene-based photosensitiser, labelled as NC-DSBDP, of which the photoactivities could be specifically activated upon conversion of the meso ester substituent to carboxylate initiated by the [4 + 1] cycloaddition with a tetrazine derivative. By using two tetrazines conjugated with a galactose moiety or the GE11 peptide, labelled as gal-Tz and GE11-Tz, we could selectively label the cancer cells overexpressed with the asialoglycoprotein receptor and the epidermal growth factor receptor respectively. Upon encountering the internalised NC-DSBDP, these tetrazines triggered the "ester-to-carboxylate" transformation of this compound, activating its fluorescence and reactive oxygen species generation inside the target cells. The bioorthogonal activation was also demonstrated in vivo, leading to effective photo-eradication of the tumour in nude mice.

Abstract
We have systematically examined the formation of singlet oxygen O2(1Δg), the excited triplet state (T1), and excited singlet state (S1) for halogenated BODIPY photosensitizers (halogen = Cl, Br, and I) in eight solvents to understand how halogen atoms and solvent affect these properties. The phosphorescence spectra and lifetimes of singlet oxygen generated by these halogenated BODIPYs have been measured by steady state/time resolved NIR emission, while the formation quantum yield of singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) has been determined by chemical method using diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as the trapping agent. The formation quantum yield ΦΔ of singlet oxygen can be as high as 0.96 for iodinated BODIPY and 0.71 for brominated BODIPY. The triplet state T1 absorption spectra of brominated and iodinated BODIPYs have been recorded by laser flash photolysis method, in which T1 shows high formation efficiency and long lifetime. The formation and decay of excited singlet state S1 of four BODIPYs have been measured by ground state (S0) absorption and steady state/time resolved fluorescence. The results show that larger halogen atoms on BODIPY core lead to smaller fluorescence quantum yield, shorter fluorescence lifetime and higher singlet oxygen formation quantum yield due to heavy atom effect that promotes the formation of triplet state. On the other hand, higher solvent polarity causes lower singlet oxygen formation quantum yield, smaller fluorescence quantum yield, and shorter fluorescence lifetime. This solvent effect is explained by the presence of photoinduced charge transfer (ICT) process from halogen atoms to BODIPY. The ICT efficiency has been estimated and the results are agreed with ICT theory. ICT process in halogenated BODIPYs has never been revealed in literature. HOMO/LUMO obtained from DFT calculation also supports the presence of ICT. The involvement of ICT in the photosensitizing process of halogenated BODIPYs provides new insights for designing BODIPY photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of tumor.

Abstract
The development of activatable photosensitizers (PSs) is of particular interest for achieving tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) with minimal side effects. However, the in vivo applications of PSs are limited by complex physiological and biological delivery barriers. Herein, boron dipyrromethene (BDP)-based nanoparticles are developed through the self-assembly of a multifunctional "one-for-all" building block for enhanced tumor penetration and activatable PDT. The nanoparticles show excellent colloidal stability and long circulation lifetime in blood. Once they reach the tumor site, the first-stage size reduction occurs due to the hydrolysis of the Schiff base bond between polyethylene glycol and the cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp peptide in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH~6.5), facilitating tumor penetration and specific recognition by cancer cells overexpressing integrin ανβ3 receptors. Upon the endocytosis by cancer cells, the second-stage size reduction is triggered by more acidic pH in lysosomes (pH~4.5). Importantly, the protonated diethylamino groups can block photoinduced electron transfer from the amine donor to the excited PSs and accelerate complete disassembly of the nanoparticles into single PS molecule, with the recovery of the fluorescence and photoactivity for efficient PDT. This study presents a smart PS delivery strategy involving acidity-triggered hierarchical disassembly from the nano to molecular scale for precise tumor PDT.

Abstract
Constructing bioactive materials remains a big challenge through the aggregates of molecules. Herein, a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivative containing three nitro groups (BDP-(NO2)3) was synthesized, which displays the characteristic of J-aggregate with pronounced red-shifted absorption in nonpolar solvent and aqueous media. The bathochromic shift from 635 to 765 nm facilitates photothermal transition upon the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) light. Interestingly, BDP-(NO2)3 nanoparticles (NPs) fabricated from BDP-(NO2)3 and poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene) copolymer (F-127), still exhibit obvious J-aggregate, which possess the merits of hydrophilicity, NIR absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency, excellent biosafety, and can behave as unique candidates for photothermal therapy. In vitro and in vivo experiments validate that BDP-(NO2)3 NPs can effectively suppress the proliferation of cancer cells and lead to tumor ablation. This assembly method would be a generic and efficient mode for reasonable design of functional nanomaterials, and could inspire more study on aggregates of organic molecules.

Abstract
Development of the drug with high therapeutic efficacy and low toxicity is crucial to cancer ablation. In this study, we have demonstrated a red light-responsive prodrug BDP-TK-CPT by connecting the chemotherapeutic agent camptothecin with a boron dipyrromethene (BDP)-based photosensitizer via a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-labile thioketal chain. Since camptothecin is modified by a BDP-based macrocycle at the active site, the formed prodrug displays an extremely low toxicity in dark. However, upon illumination by red light, it can efficiently generate ROS leading to cell death by photodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the ROS generated can destroy thioketal group to release free camptothecin which further results in local cell death by chemotherapy. The combined antitumor effects of the prodrug have been verified in HepG2, EC109, and HeLa cancer cells and mice bearing H22 tumors. This study may provide an alternative strategy for stimuli-responsive combination treatment of tumors by conjugation of ROS-activatable prodrugs with photosensitizing agents.

Abstract
A boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorometric probe, HCS, has been successfully developed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The probe is based on the specific HOCl-promoted oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide. The reaction is accompanied by a 160-fold increase in the fluorescent quantum yield (from 0.003 to 0.480). The fluorescent turn-on mechanism is accomplished by suppression of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the methyl phenyl sulfide group to BODIPY. The fluorescence intensity of the reaction between HOCl and HCS shows a good linearity in the HOCl concentration range 1-10 μM. The detection limit is 23.7 nM (S/N=3). In addition, confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging using RAW264.7 macrophages demonstrates that the HCS probe could be an efficient fluorescent detector for HOCl in living cells.
