Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, vol. 17, n.o 12, 2015, pp. 8239-47.

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.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1039/C5CP00193E.restricted access547Electronic transferBODIPYCoumarinQuímica orgánica (Química)22 Física23 Química33 Ciencias Tecnológicas
