Samples of halogenated BODIPY dyes in ambient lighting and fluorescing under UV

The compound itself was isolated only in 2009,[2][1][3] but many derivatives—formally obtained by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms by other functional groups—have been known since 1968, and comprise the important class of BODIPY dyes.[4] These organoboron compounds have attracted much interest as fluorescent dyes and markers in biological research.[1]

Structure edit

In its crystalline solid form, the core BODIPY is almost, but not entirely, planar and symmetrical; except for the two fluorine atoms, that lie on the perpendicular bisecting plane.[1] Its bonding can be explained by assuming a formal negative charge on the boron atom, and a formal positive charge on one of the nitrogen atoms.

Synthesis edit

BODIPY and its derivatives can be obtained by reacting the corresponding 2,2'-dipyrromethene derivatives with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex (BF
3·(C
2H
5)
2O) in the presence of triethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).[1] The difficulty of the synthesis was due to instability of the usual dipyrromethene precursor, rather than of BODIPY itself.[1][5]

The dipyrromethene precursors are accessed from a suitable pyrrole derivatives by several methods. Normally, one alpha-position in employed pyrroles is substituted and the other is free. Condensation of such pyrrole, often available from Knorr pyrrole synthesis, with an aromatic aldehyde in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid gives dipyrromethane, which is oxidized to dipyrromethene using a quinone oxidant such as DDQ[1] or p-chloranil.[6]

Alternatively, dipyrromethenes are prepared by treating a pyrrole with an activated carboxylic acid derivative, usually an acyl chloride. Unsymmetrical dipyrromethenes can be obtained by condensing pyrroles with 2-acylpyrroles. Intermediate dipyrromethanes may be isolated and purified, but isolation of dipyrromethenes is usually compromised by their instability.

 

Derivatives edit

 
IUPAC atom numbering for substitutions on the BODIPY core. Positions 3 and 5 are also commonly called "α"; 1,2,6,7 are called "β"; and 8 is called "meso". Note that the numbering does not match the numbering on the parent 2,2'-dipyrromethene molecule.[7]
 
Molecular structure of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-phenyl-substituted BODIPY.[8]

The BODIPY core has a rich derivative chemistry due to the high tolerance for substitutions in the pyrrole and aldehyde (or acyl chloride) starting materials.[5]

Hydrogen atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of the cyclic core can be displaced by halogen atoms using succinimide reagents such as NCS, NBS and NIS - which allows for further post-functionalisation through palladium coupling reactions with boronate esters, tin reagents etc.[5]

The two fluorine atoms on the boron atom can be replaced, during or after synthesis, by other strong nucleophilic reagents, such as lithiated alkyne or aryl species,[5] chlorine,[6] methoxy,[6] or a divalent "strap".[9] The reaction is catalysed by BBr3 or SnCl4.[10]

Fluorescence edit

BODIPY and many of its derivatives have received attention recently for being fluorescent dyes with unique properties. They strongly absorb UV-radiation and re-emit it in very narrow frequency spreads, with high quantum yields, mostly at wavelengths below 600 nm. They are relatively insensitive to the polarity and pH of their environment and are reasonably stable to physiological conditions. Small modifications to their structures enable tuning of their fluorescence characteristics.[7] BODIPY dyes are relatively chemically inert. Fluorescence is quenched in a solution, which limits application. This problem has been handled by synthesizing asymmetric boron complexes and replacing the fluorine groups with phenyl groups.

The unsubstituted BODIPY has a broad absorption band, from about 420 to 520 nm (peaking at 503 nm) and a broad emission band from about 480 to 580 nm (peaking at 512 nm), with a fluorescence lifetime of 7.2 ns. Its fluorescence quantum yield is near 1, greater than that of substituted BODIPY dyes and comparable to those of rhodamine and fluorescein, but fluorescence is lost above 50 °C.[2]

BODIPY dyes are notable for their uniquely small Stokes shift, high, environment-independent fluorescence quantum yields, often approaching 100% even in water, sharp excitation and emission peaks contributing to overall brightness, and high solubility in many organic solvents. The combination of these qualities makes BODIPY fluorophores promising for imaging applications. The position of the absorption and emission bands remain almost unchanged in solvents of different polarity as the change of permanent dipole moment upon excitation is small.

Potential applications edit

The advantages of BODIPY are their low photodegradation, low toxicity and polarity, high biocompatibility, charge neutrality, and high fluorescence quantum yield, all of which make BODIPY effective markers.[11][12] BODIPY conjugates are widely studied as potential sensors and for labelling biobjects (e.g. cell organelles) [13][14][15][16] by exploiting its highly tunable optoelectronic properties.[17][18] [19][20][21][22][23]

Numerous BODIPY derivatives are being investigated as electroactive species for single-substance redox flow batteries. [24] In recent years, BODIPY derivatives are also being explored as photosensitizers for applications in photodynamic therapy[25] and photocatalysis.[26]
