“…We then undertook singlet oxygen quantum yield studies of the water-soluble derivatives, BAD-13-BPyrD-19 and a control (BODIPY 20) in water (Table 3), using a protocol adopted from literature (see SI). [15] Overall, they show comparable singlet oxygen quantum yields to that of the parent BODIPYs (BAD- [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Notably, control 20 displays negligible singlet oxygen generating abilities, as expected.…”
