Carbazole and p-anisyl substituted BODIPY dyes with a cyanoacetic acid anchoring group have been prepared and their spectral, electrochemical properties and photosensitizing potential in DSSC have been evaluated. X-ray structure of N-phenylcarbazole substituted BODIPY revealed lower torsion angle between BODIPY plane and carbazole plane, suggesting increased communication between the two units. DFT studies indicated effective electronic interactions between the BODIPY unit and carbazole substituents. The N-butylcarbazole and N-phenylcarbazole substituted BODIPYs showed anodic shifts in their reduction potentials, indicating facile reduction process. The predicted HOMO-LUMO gaps are in agreement with the electrochemical result and the lower band gap was observed for the carbazole substituted BODIPYs.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

The present work focuses on the photophysical behavior of meso-N-butylcarbazole-substituted BODIPY (CBZ-BDP) in different organized media towards exploring the possible use of the dye as a molecular sensor and imaging agent. The molecule shows an appreciable change in absorption and emission spectra at 75% water-acetonitrile mixture compared to pure acetonitrile. In water-acetonitrile mixture, it displays aggregate-induced emission (AIE) bands.

Background: Human platelet lysate (hPL) has emerged as a promising serum substitute to enhance the self-renewal and multipotency of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Despite its potential, the specific biological mechanisms by which hPL influences MSC phenotypes remain inadequately understood.
Methods: We investigated the biological signaling activated by hPL in two common types of human MSCs: bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) and adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs).
Computational Investigation of Meso-Substituted, Heavy Atom-Free BODIPY Derivatives as Photosensitizers: Insights From TDDFT and Dynamics Studies.

This study investigates the structural and electronic properties of BODIPY (BDP) derivatives featuring meso-substituted donors arranged orthogonally, leveraging Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT). These deriva-tives, selected based on experimental evidence of their quantum yield towards singlet oxygen generation, exhibit intricate excited-state dynamics, transitioning from fluorescence to intersystem crossing (ISC), thereby presenting a promising avenue for applications in photodynamic therapy. Emphasizing heavy-atom-free organic triplet photosensitizers, with BDP dyes highlighted for their exceptional adaptability in photophysical characteristics, our analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the fundamental design principles governing such photosensitizers.

Advanced photodynamic therapy requires photosensitizers with targeting, diagnostic, and therapeutic properties. To fulfill this multifunctionality, we report the synthesis of two triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-functionalized boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, TPPB-H and TPPB-Br, which incorporate a hydrogen atom and dibrominated vinyl moiety at the 6-position of the BODIPY core, respectively. The heavy-atom effect of the moderately heavy bromine atoms allowed TPPB-Br to achieve a proper balance between the toxic singlet oxygen (O) production and fluorescence efficiencies.
