Spiranic BODIPYs: a ground-breaking design to improve the energy transfer in molecular cassettes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Oct 28;50(84):12765-7. doi: 10.1039/c4cc05709k.

Abstract

Boosted excitation energy transfer in spiranic O-BODIPY/polyarene cassettes, when compared with the parent non-spiranic (flexible) system, is highlighted as a proof for the ability of a new structural design to improve the energy transfer in molecular cassettes.
