Synthesis, Structure, and Fluorescence Behavior of Profluorescent 8‐Amino BODIPY Nitroxides

Abstract

A series of novel 8‐amino BODIPY profluorescent nitroxides and the corresponding N‐ethoxyamine derivatives were synthesized with varying substitution and molecular geometries. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction data for the three 8‐amino BODIPY nitroxides were obtained. UV‐Vis absorption and emission data for the profluorescent nitroxides and 8‐amino BODIPY N‐ethoxyamine derivatives were examined to assess the utility of these compounds as fluorescent probes.
