J. Chen et al., Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of 2-ketopyrrole-BF2 complexes: a new class of fluorescent dye, TETRAHEDR L, 41(14), 2000, pp. 2303-2307
The 2-ketopyrrole complexes 3 and 4 were isolated as minor products in synt
heses of the corresponding 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODI
PY(R)) dyes 1 and 2. Compounds 4 were shown to be highly fluorescent having
emissions between 504 and 544 nm with quantum yields between 0.52 and 0.89
