Facile functionalization of a fully fluorescent perfluorophenyl BODIPY: photostable thiol and amine conjugates

Abstract

Selective nucleophilic substitution on a perfluorophenyl unit comprising a BODIPY fluorophore using an alkanethiol or a primary amine offers a quantitative fluorophore labelling strategy, while retaining high photostability and emission quantum yields approaching unity.
