RT Journal Article T1 Coumarin–BODIPY hybrids by heteroatom linkage: versatile, tunable and photostable dye lasers for UV irradiation A1 Esnal, Ixone A1 Duran-Sampedro, Gonzalo A1 Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia A1 Bañuelos, Jorge A1 García-Moreno, Inmaculada A1 Macías, Maria Ángeles A1 Peña-Cabrera, Eduardo A1 López-Arbeloa, Iñigo A1 De la Moya, Santiago A1 Ortiz, Maria José AB Linking amino and hydroxycoumarins to BODIPYs through the amino or hydroxyl group lets the easy construction of unprecedented photostable coumarin–BODIPY hybrids with broadened and enhanced absorption in the UV spectral region, and outstanding wavelength-tunable laser action within the green-to-red spectral region (∼520–680 nm). These laser dyes allow the generation of a valuable tunable UV (∼260–350 nm) laser source by frequency doubling, which is essential to study accurately the photochemistry of biological molecules under solar irradiation. The tunability is achieved by selecting the substitution pattern of the hybrid. Key factors are the linking heteroatom (nitrogen vs. oxygen), the number of coumarin units joined to the BODIPY framework and the involved linking positions.
