BODIPY Core as Signaling Unit in Chemosensor Design

Abstract

BODIPY derivatives possess unique photophysical properties and for these reasons, they have been used in numerous fields. Among the different applications, they are used in designing chemosensors that has increased in the last years. Here, we report several strat - egies and examples for detecting analytes of different characteristics: cations, anions, and hazardous and pollutant neutral molecules using BODIPY core as signaling unit.
