    Manipulating Charge-TransferStates in BODIPYs: A ModelStrategy to Rapidly Develop Photodynamic Theragnostic Agents
    (Chemistry: a european journal, 2020) Jiménez González, Josué; Prieto Montero, Ruth; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Ortíz García, María Josefa; Oliden Sánchez, Ainhoa; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María; Martínez Martínez, Virginia; Moya Cerero, Santiago de la
    On the basis of a family of BINOL (1,1′-bi-2-naphthol)-based O-BODIPY (dioxyboron dipyrromethene) dyes, it is demonstrated that chemical manipulation of the chromophoric push–pull character, by playing with the electron-donating capability of the BINOL moiety (BINOL versus 3,3'-dibromoBINOL) and with the electron-acceptor ability of the BODIPY core (alkyl substitution degree), is a workable strategy to finely balance fluorescence (singlet-state emitting action) versus the capability to photogenerate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (triplet-state photosensitizing action). It is also shown that the promotion of a suitable charge-transfer character in the involved chromophore upon excitation enhances the probability of an intersystem crossing phenomenon, which is required to populate the triple state enabling singlet oxygen production. The reported strategy opens up new perspectives for rapid development of smarter agents for photodynamic theragnosis, including heavy-atom-free agents, from a selected organic fluorophore precursor.

    Unprecedented induced axial chirality in a molecular BODIPY dye: strongly bisignated electronic circular dichroism in the visible region
    (Chemical Communications, 2013) Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Arbeloa, Teresa; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María; Ortíz García, María Josefa; Moya Cerero, Santiago de la
    Enantiomeric bis(BODIPYs) 1a and 1b exhibit strong bisignated ECD due to the formation of a stable helical conformation with induced axial chirality, which allows efficient excito coupling of the BODIPY chromophores in the Vis region.

    Chiral microneedles from an achiral bis(boron dipyrromethene): spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking leading to a promising photoluminescent organic material
    (Langmuir, 2019) Gartzia-Rivero, Leire; Ray Leiva, César; Sánchez Carnerero, Esther M. Márquez; Bañuelos, Jorge; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; García Moreno, Inmacualada; Infantes, Lourdes; Méndez Martín, Bianchi; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María
    Supramolecular self-assembly of a highly flexible and achiral meso bis(boron dipyrromethene) [bis-(BODIPY)] dye straightforwardly yields fluorescent micro-fibers, exhibiting an intriguing anisotropic photonic behavior. This performance includes the generation of chiroptical activity owing to spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SMSB). Repetition of several self-assembly experiments demonstrates that the involved SMSB is not stochastic but quasi deterministic in the direction of the induced chiral asymmetry. The origin of these intriguing (chiro)photonic properties is revealed by fluorescent microspectroscopy studies of individual micrometric objects, combined with X-ray diffraction elucidation of microcrystals. Such a study demonstrates that J-like excitonic coupling between bis(BODIPY) units plays a fundamental role in their supramolecular organization, leading to axial chirality. Interestingly, the photonic behavior of the obtained fibers is ruled by inherent nonradiative pathways from the involved push-pull chromophores, and mainly by the complex excitonic interactions induced by their anisotropic supramolecular organization.

    Spiranic BODIPYs: a ground-breaking design to improve the energy transfer in molecular cassettes
    (Chemical Communications, 2014) Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Gartzia-Rivero, Leire; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Ortiz García, María Josefa; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María; Moya Cerero, Santiago De La
    Boosted excitation energy transfer in spiranic O BODIPY/polyarenecassettes, when compared with the parent non-spiranic (flexible) system, is highlighted as a proof for the ability of a new structural design to improve the energy transfer in molecular cassettes

    Bis(haloBODIPYs) with Labile Helicity: Valuable Simple Organic Molecules That Enable Circularly Polarized Luminescence
    (Chemistry: a european journal, 2016) Ray Leiva, César; Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Ortiz García, María Josefa; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Cohovi, Komlan D.; Lunkley, jamie L.; Muller, Gilles; Moya Cerero, Santiago De La
    Simple organic molecules (SOM) based on bis(haloBODIPY) are shown to enable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), giving rise to a new structural design for technologically valuable CPL-SOMs. The established design comprises together synthetic accessibility, labile helicity, possibility of reversing the handedness of the circularly polarized emission, and reactive functional groups, making it unique and attractive as advantageous platform for the development of smart CPL-SOMs.
