A novel 4,4-difuoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) copolymer with diethynylbenzene has been synthesised, and its ability to act as a photosensitiser for the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen was investigated by time-resolved spectroscopic techniques spanning the ps- to ns-timescales. Both transient absorption and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy were used to probe the excited state dynamics of this photosensitising unit in a variety of solvents. These studies indicated how environmental factors can influence the photophysics of the BODIPY polymer. A homogeneous photocatalytic hydrogen evolution system has been developed using the BODIPY copolymer and cobaloxime which provides hydrogen evolution rates of 319 μmol h g after 24 h of visible irradiation.

Chitosan-based fluorescent copolymers containing borodipyrromethene (BODIPY) were synthesized and investigated. In this work, fluorescent compound (BOD-4) containing -C ≡ CH was synthesized firstly. Subsequently, chitosan (CS)-based polymer CS-I was obtained through the -NH/-C ≡ C click reaction between BOD-4 and CS.

Electronic address:
An innovative organic small molecule with a D-A structure was synthesized by connecting triphenylamine to BODIPY via a thiophene bridge. Triphenylamine and thiophene units ingeniously modulate the balance between steric hindrance and π-π interactions around the flat aza-BODIPY core. The molecule exhibits near-infrared fluorescence absorption and emits at roughly 1100 nm, featuring a significant Stokes shift.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer characterized by an unfavorable prognosis due to its aggressive biology. Cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs) play an active role in tumor development, invasion and metastasis, and response to treatment by secreting various cytokines. CAAs secrete CCL2 and ADPN which significantly affect the efficacy of aPD-1 in treating breast cancer.

Conventional phototherapeutic agents are typically used in either photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). However, efficacy is often hindered by hypoxia and elevated levels of heat shock proteins in the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these limitations, a formylated, near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing and heavy-atom-free Aza-BODIPY dye is presented that exhibits both type-I and type-II PDT actions with a high yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and manifests efficient photothermal conversion by precise adjustments to the conjugate structure and electron distribution, leading to a large amount of ROS production even under severe hypoxia.

By combining bioimaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT), it is possible to treat cancer through a theranostic approach with targeted action for minimum invasiveness and side effects. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) probes have gained recent interest in theranostics due to their ability to generate singlet oxygen (O) while providing delayed emission that can be used in time-gated imaging. However, it is still challenging to design systems that simultaneously show (1) high contrast for imaging, (2) low dark toxicity but high phototoxicity and (3) tunable biological uptake.
