“…In many cases, these systems quickly reach equilibrium and exhibit a single aggregation pathway that leads to the formation of thermodynamic stable supramolecular nanoaggregates. As shown in the literature, the driving force of the single-pathway assembly process of (aza-)BODIPYs dyes include π-π stacking, [95][96][97][98][99][100] hydrogen bonding, [101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108] hydrophobic effects, 84,[109][110][111][112][113][114][115] metal-ligand interactions, [116][117][118][119][120] electrostatic interactions, [121][122][123] and others. 124 The molecular structures of representative examples of self-assembling BODIPY dyes are depicted in Chart 1.…”
