AI Article Synopsis
- Pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY analogues (PPABs) are new chromophores that can absorb and emit light in the UV/vis and near-infrared range.
- Changing the substituents on these compounds results in red-shifts in their absorption and emission spectra, meaning they can absorb and emit light at longer wavelengths.
- For example, increasing the length of thiophene substituents from thiophene to quaterthiophene shifts the absorption and emission from around 700 nm to over 800 nm, indicating a significant change in their optical properties.
Article Abstract
Pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY analogues (PPABs) are a new class of UV/vis and near-infrared chromophores. Varying the substituents results in red-shifts of both the absorption and emission spectra. Extension of the lengths of the oligothiophene substituents from thiophene to quaterthiophene caused red-shifts of the absorption and emission from 699 and 712 nm to 809 and 853 nm, respectively. The piperidylthiophene-substituted PPAB exhibited similar red-shifts of the absorption and emission to 810 and 831 nm, respectively, although only a single thienyl component is present, because of the strong electron-donating nature of the piperidine substituent.
