BODIPY-based regioisomers and a donor–acceptor rotor as organic photosensitizers for maximizing singlet oxygen quantum yields and for the photooxidation of thioanisole

Abstract

The efficient production of singlet oxygen using organic photosensitizer (PS) is highly attractive for photocatalytic applications. Herein, we have designed and synthesized regioisomeric biphenyl-BODIPYs such as pp-BODIPY, mp-BODIPY, mm-BODIPY, T-BODIPY...
