Lighting the way ahead with boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) dyes
Andrew C. Benniston and Graeme Copley
This review covers some recent advances made using boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) compounds, highlighting aspects such as new sensing applications for reactive oxygen species and solvent rheology. The light-harvesting capabilities of the dye especially in the crystalline state are also discussed emphasising Bodipy derivatives as potential candidates for solid-state solar concentrators.
