Self-Assembly of a Carboxyl-Functionalized BODIPY Dye via Hydrogen Bonding
We report the synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly behavior of a 4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-<i>s</i>-indacene (BODIPY) dye functionalized at the <i>meso</i>-position with a butyric acid group. Various spectroscopic investigations (UV-Vis, emission, and Fourier-...

Summary: | We report the synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly behavior of a 4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-<i>s</i>-indacene (BODIPY) dye functionalized at the <i>meso</i>-position with a butyric acid group. Various spectroscopic investigations (UV-Vis, emission, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies) supported by X-ray analysis revealed the formation of self-assembled structures in the solid state with translationally stacked BODIPY units driven by hydrogen bonding between the carboxyl groups. |
