Item Carboxylates versus Fluorines: Boosting the Emission Properties of Commercial BODIPYs in Liquid and Solid Media(Advanced Functional Materials, 2013) Durán Sampedro, Gonzalo; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Cerdán, Luis; Pérez Ojeda, María Eugenia; Costela, Angel; García‐Moreno, Inmaculada; Esnal, Ixone; Bañuelos, Jorge; López Arbeloa, Iñigo; Ortiz García, María JosefaA new and facile strategy for the development of photonic materials is presented that fufi lls the conditions of being effi cient, stable, and tunable laser emitters over the visible region of spectrum, with the possibility of being easily processable and cost-effective. This approach uses poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a host for new dyes with improved effi ciency and photostability synthesized. Using a simple protocol, fl uorine atoms in the commercial (4,4-difl uoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) ( F -BODIPY) by carboxylate groups. The new O -BODIPYs exhibit enhanced optical properties and laser behavior both in the liquid and solid phases compared to their commercial analogues. Lasing effi ciencies up to 2.6 times higher than those recorded for the commercial dyes are registered with high photostabilities since the laser output remain at 80% of the initial value after 100 000 pump pulses in the same position of the sample at a repetition rate of 30 Hz; the corresponding commercial dye entirely loses its laser action after only 12 000 pump pulses. Distributed feedback laser emission is demonstrated with organic fi lms incorporating new O -BODIPYs deposited onto quartz substrates engraved with appropriated periodical structures. These dyes exhibit laser thresholds up to two times lower than those of the corresponding parent dyes with lasing intensities up to one order of magnitude higher.Item Increased laser action in commercial dyes from fluorination regardless of their skeleton(Laser Physics Letters, 2014) Durán Sampedro, Gonzalo; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Arbeloa Lopez, Teresa; Bañuelos, Jorge; López Arbeloa, Iñigo; Chiara, José Luis; Garcia Moreno, Inmaculada; Ortiz García, María JosefaThe direct and simple fluorination of representative organic laser dyes with emission covering the entire visible spectrum, from blue to red, including Coumarin 460, Pyrromethene 546, Rhodamine 6G and Perylene Red, enhances laser efficiencies by a factor up to 1.8 with respect to the corresponding non-fluorinated parent dyes. More importantly, fluorination also significantly enhances the photostability of the dyes, even under drastic laser pumping conditions.Item First Highly Efficient and Photostable and Derivatives of 4,4‐Difluoro‐4‐bora‐3a,4a‐diaza‐s‐indacene (BODIPY) as Dye Lasers in the Liquid Phase, Thin Films, and Solid‐State Rods(Chemistry Europe, 2014) Durán Sampedro, Gonzalo; Esnal, Ixone; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Cerdán, Luis; García Moreno, Inmaculada; Costela, Angel; López Arbeloa, Iñigo; Ortiz García, María JosefaA new library of E- and C-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4adiaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivatives has been synthesized through a straightforward protocol from commercially available BODIPY complexes, and a systematic study of the photophysical properties and laser behavior related to the electronic properties of the B-substituent group (alkynyl, cyano, vinyl, aryl, and alkyl) has been carried out. The replacement of fluorine atoms by electron-withdrawing groups enhances the fluorescence response of the dye, whereas electrondonor groups diminish the fluorescence efficiency. As a consequence, these compounds exhibit enhanced laser action with respect to their parent dyes, both in liquid solution and in the solid phase, with lasing efficiencies under transversal pumping up to 73% in liquid solution and 53% in a solid matrix. The new dyes also showed enhanced photostability. In a solid matrix, the derivative of commercial dye PM597 that incorporated cyano groups at the boron center exhibited a very high lasing stability, with the laser emission remaining at the initial level after 100 000 pump pulses in the same position of the sample at a 10 Hz repetition rate. Distributed feedback laser emission was demonstrated with organic films that incorporated parent dye PM597 and its cyano derivative. The films were deposited onto quartz substrates engraved with appropriate periodical structures. The C derivative exhibited a laser threshold lower than that of the parent dye as well as lasing intensities up to three orders of magnitude higher.Item Chlorinated BODIPYs: Surprisingly Efficient and Highly Photostable Laser Dyes(European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012) Durán Sampedro, Gonzalo; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; García Moreno, Inmaculada; Costela, Angel; Bañuelos, Jorge; Arbeloa, Teresa; López Arbeloa, Iñigo; Chiara, Jose Luis; Ortiz García, María JosefaA series of mono‐ to hexachlorinated BODIPY dyes have been prepared in good to excellent yields through the use of chlorosuccinimide as an inexpensive halogenating reagent. This library of chlorinated dyes allowed analysis in detail, from the experimental and theoretical points of view, of the dependency of the photophysical and optical properties of the dyes on the number and positions of the chlorine substituents on their BODIPY cores. Quantum mechanical calculations predict the regioselectivity of the halogenation reaction and explain why some positions are less prone to chlorination. The new chlorinated BODIPYs exhibit enhanced laser action with respect to their non‐halogenated analogues, both in liquid solution and in the solid phase. In addition, chlorination is a facile and essentially costless protocol for overcoming important shortcomings exhibited by commercially available BODIPYs, which should favor their practical applications in optical and sensing fields.
