    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.

    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

    Dissimilar-at-boron N-BODIPYs: from light-harvesting multichromophoric arrays to CPL-bright chiral-at-boron BODIPYs
    (Organic Chemistry Frontiers, 2023) Ray, César; Avellanal-Zaballa, Edurne; Muñoz Úbeda, Mónica; Colligan, Jessica; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Muller, Gilles ; López Montero, Iván; Bañuelos, Jorge; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Moya Cerero, Santiago De La
    We report a workable and easy approach for the direct post-multifunctionalization of common BODIPYs (F-BODIPYs) with minimal interference to the starting photophysical behavior. It entails the easy transformation of an F-BODIPY into the corresponding N-BODIPY by using a dissimilarly-N,N′-disubstituted bis(sulfonamide), which is easily obtained from ethane-1,2-diamine. This approach is exemplified by the rapid synthesis of a selected battery of unprecedented dissimilar-at-boron N-BODIPYs, which are rationally designed to act as efficient multichromophoric arrays for light harvesting by excitation energy transfer, as specific bioprobes for fluorescent imaging, or as efficient chiroptical dyes exhibiting visible circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence. Noticeably, this approach has led to the synthesis of the first CPL-bright chiral-at-boron BODIPYs, a significant novelty in BODIPY chemistry and CPL emitters
