Abstract
This review examines available data on BODIPYs with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent properties. BODIPYs, widely used as fluorescent dyes, offer facile modification and the potential for high quantum yields, making them valuable for various applications. The first section focuses on sustainable synthesis methods, including mechanosynthesis, microwave-assisted synthesis, and multicomponent reactions, as well as the photophysical properties of BODIPYs. The second section explores their biomedical applications in molecular imaging, where they serve as markers, sensors, and therapeutic agents. Their NIR fluorescence enables deeper tissue penetration and reduced autofluorescence, enhancing imaging accuracy. This review provides a comprehensive and critical perspective on green synthesis strategies, NIR optical properties, and biomedical applications of BODIPY. Additionally, it highlights key challenges and future prospects, particularly in medical diagnostics and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
