These competitive processes generate BODIPYs with opposed photophysical properties, from highly fluorescent dyes enabling laser emission, to non-fluorescent singlet-oxygen photosensitizers. The synthetic control is exerted on the basis of the structure of the starting BODIPY, as well as the electrophilic character (hard or soft) of the formylating reagent.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2017.02.030http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143720816311652restricted access547.1539.2:620.1Vilsmeier-HaackOrganic synthesisBODIPYPhotophysicsLaser dyesCharge transferOptica (Química)Química orgánica (Química)2306 Química Orgánica
