Popis: Four different 1,7-difluorophore substituted azaBODIPYs containing fluorophores such as naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene were synthesized over a sequence of steps involving Aldol condensation, Michael addition, dipyrromethene formation and BF2-complexation. All these steps were optimized and the target 1,7-difluoro substituted azaBODIPYs along with other intermediate compounds were thoroughly characterized by HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The absorption and electrochemical studies indicated a strong interaction between fluorophores and azaBODIPY moieties in compounds 1-4. The fluorescence studies revealed that 1,7-difluoro substituted azaBODIPYs with fluorophores such as naphthalene and pyrene are fluorescent and invoked the possibility of singlet-singlet energy transfer from fluorophores to azaBODIPY moiety whereas 1,7-dianthracenyl substituted azaBODIPY was completely non-fluorescent due to efficient photo-induced electron transfer between anthracene and azaBODIPY moieties.
