Abstract

The synthesis of a new BODIPY dye using a one-pot synthesis provides absorption and emission within the NIR-1 region. The maximum absorption wavelength of this dye occurs at 645 nm with a molar absorptivity of almost 44,000 M^-1 cm^-1. By incorporating iodine into the ortho-position of the meso-phenyl substituent gives this dye the ability to generate both singlet oxygen and superoxide radical when irradiated within the phototherapeutic window of 600 nm to 850 nm.
