The spectroscopic and the photophysical properties of isomeric environment-sensitive BODIPYd erivatives in different solvents are reported. The simultaneous presence of the stronge lectron-acceptorC F 3 and electron-donor NH 2 group in the structure of BODIPY,a sw ell as the positiono f the NH 2 group on the aryl ring, showedasignificante ffect on the spectroscopic and fluorescence characteristics of the BODIPY chromophore, both experimentally and theoretically. The comparison of meta and para derivatives (1a and 1b) shows that, in both cases, they have av ery low quantum yield (F f )a nd fluorescencel ifetime (t f )i nt he solvents used (except for n-hexane), therefore, they are potentially suitable as turn-onf luorescences ensors. The twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanism was adopted to explain solvate-induced fluorescence quenching. Besides this, there is as trong pH dependence on the photophysical behavior of the two isomers, which could also lead to applications as pH sensors. On the other hand, only 1a can be au seful probe for CO 2 sensing.O wing to aw eaker electron-donor character of the NHCOMe group in comparison with the NH 2 group, the position of the fluorescence "off-on" threshold of BODIPY 1c and 1d is shifted to the side of more polar solvents than for 1a and 1b.
