Aggregation-caused quenching effect (ACQ) greatly limits the practical use of many organic luminophores in biomedicine, optics and electronics. The comparative analysis of aggregation characteristics of CHR-bis(BODIPY) bichromophores 1-6 with R = H, Ph, MeOPh and various linking positions (α,α-; α,β-; β,β- and β',β'-) in THF-water mixtures with different water fractions or dye concentrations is first presented in this article. Both the linking style 1-4 and the arylation of the spacer with phenyl (Ph-) 5 or methoxyphenyl (MeOPh-) 6 substituents strongly affect the formation of luminophore aggregated forms in binary THF-water mixtures.

This study presents a dipyrromethene-based sensitive and selective probe for Zn ions detection in aqueous and water-organic media. The probe demonstrates absorbance-ratiometric and "off-on" fluorescent sensing for Zn in a DMSO/HO (9:1, v/v) mixture. The 3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexamethyl-2,2'-dipyrromethene (HL), similar to its analogs, exhibits weak fluorescence (with a quantum yield of less than 0.

The results of a X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and steady-state absorption spectroscopy study of the electronic structure, and cationic and excited states of a series of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-substituted BODIPYs (4Me,2R-BODIPYs) are presented. The experimental data were interpreted using high-level quantum chemical computations, including the algebraic diagrammatic construction method for the polarization propagator of the second order (ADC(2)), the outer-valence Green's function (OVGF) method, the density functional (DFT) approach, and the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. Substitution effects on the XPS and absorption spectra were determined for 2,6-positions of 4Me,2R-BODIPY pyrrole nuclei (R = H, Br, Bu, benzyl).

Infectious diseases caused by various nosocomial microorganisms affect worldwide both immunocompromised and relatively healthy persons. Bacteria and fungi have different tools to evade antimicrobials, such as hydrolysis damaging the drug, efflux systems, and the formation of biofilm that significantly complicates the treatment of the infection. Here, we show that myrtenol potentiates the antimicrobial and biofilm-preventing activity of conventional drugs against and mono- and dual-species cultures.

Red-emitting distyryl substituted BODIPY dyes are among the most promising luminophors for bioimaging and optics applications. However, the practical application of BODIPYs is limited due to their high hydrophobicity and tendency to aggregate in aqueous organic solutions and solid phase. In this article, we propose an elegant solution to this problem.

In this article, we present synthesis, spectral characteristics, and results of DFT calculations of new CH(R)-bis(BODIPY) 1-3. They are characterized by the conformational mobility and sensitivity of fluorescence to polarity, proton-, electron donor ability and viscosity of the solvation environment. It is shown that fluorescence intensity of 1-3 increases in the homologous series of alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol) mainly due to decrease of medium acidic properties.

Boron(III) complexes with alkyl-, phenyl-, and halogen-substituted 2,2'-dipyrromethenes (BODIPY) and meso-aza-dipyrrometenes (ms-aza-BODIPY) were synthesized. The structure relationship of the obtained coordination compounds with their luminescent characteristics is analyzed. Arylated BODIPY, in contrast to alkyl-substituted analogs, is more sensitive to interparticle interactions with a solvent, causing a decrease in the quantum yield by up to 40%.

In this paper the synthesis and spectral properties of three new dimeric bis(BODIPY)s with two indacene domains connected by a methylene (-CH-) spacer at 2,2-, 2,3- or 3,3- positions were reported. It was found bis(BODIPY)s exhibit a high sensitivity of fluorescence to the medium properties. To interpret solvatochromic effects of bis(BODIPY)s, a multilinear correlation analysis of bis(BODIPY)s fluorescence quantum yields with respect to solvent different parameters was carried out.

3,3',5,5'-Tetraphenyl-2,2'-dipyrromethene was described as a highly sensitive and selective Off-on fluorescent colorimetric chemosensor for Zn based on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect. The reaction of dipyrromethene ligand with Zn induces the formation of the [ZnL] complex, which exhibits the increasing fluorescence in 120 fold compared with ligand in the propanol-1/cyclohexane (1:30) binary mixture. The Zn detection limit was 1.
