Abstract

The reaction of diiminoisoindoline and iminoxoisoindoline with aminoazoles results in the formation of bidentate chelates that can be considered a semihemiporphyrazine. These chelates react with BF3 to produce fluorescent compounds that are structurally analogous to the BODIPY dyes. These difluoroboron semihemiporphyrazines (BOSHPYs) aggregate, and the type of aggregation (H or J) is determined by a single atom at the periphery of the ligand (O or N). Notably, the imine terminated compounds remain fluorescent upon aggregation.
