A BODIPY-based highly emissive dye with thiophene-based branch harvesting the light
A novel BODIPY-based dye with highly emissive character was configured by Sonogashira coupling and routinely characterized by NMR and MS technology. The emission of dye was investigated in solution/film/solid and shows intensive emission. In solution, the emission peak appeared around 510nm with little influence by the polar environment. The terthiophene plays an effective antenna effect, harvesting the light and transferring the energy to BODIPY. The pseudo Stoke's shift enlarged to approximate to 170nm in solution. In film, the emission peak shifted to 563nm in polycarbonate matrix. And it shifted further to 585nm in solid due to the highly twisted structure, which avoided closely regular-tight packing. The dye rendered an intense fluorescence, good optothermal stability, and high fluorescence quantum yield (0.55). The solid emission showed highly red emission with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (X = 0.69, Y = 0.31). Thus, the synthesized dye is idea candidate for emitting materials.
