Synthesis of novel tetrachromophoric cascade-type Bodipy dyes
摘要:
Two series of multi-cascade scaffolds bearing a boradiazaindacene (yellow dye) or a boradibenzopyrromethene (green dye) as the final energy acceptor have been synthesized. Each scaffold contains one, two or three alkynylaryl energy donors (such as pyrene D(1), perylene D(2), and fluorene D(3)) linked to the boron center. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of dihalogenated Bodipy starting material enabled the step-by-step construction of the different modules. In all cases, selective irradiation in each absorbing subunit resulted in efficient energy transfer over 25 angstrom to the Bodipy units. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
