Highly versatile BODIPY dyes proved themselves to be very useful as photosensitizers.
These dyes can be derivatized to absorb essentially anywhere in the visible the near IR …

This minireview is devoted to honoring the memory of Dr. Thomas Dougherty, a pioneer of
modern photodynamic therapy (PDT). It compiles the most important inputs made by our …

Photosensitizers are reagents that produce reactive oxygen species upon light illumination
and are commonly used to study oxidative stress or for photodynamic therapy. There are …

Enhanced spatiotemporal selectivity in photonic sensitization of dissolved molecular oxygen
is an important target for improving the potential and the practical applications of …

BODIPY dyes tend to be highly fluorescent, but their emissions can be attenuated by adding
substituents with appropriate oxidation potentials. Substituents like these have electrons to …

The synthesis, photophysical characterization, and modeling of a new library of halogen‐
free photosensitizers (PS) based on orthogonal boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dimers are …

Singlet oxygen can severely damage biological tissue, which is exploited in photodynamic
therapy (PDT). In PDT, the effective range is limited by the distribution of the photosensitizer …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic approach for anticancer and
antibacterial treatment via photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation …

The BODIPY chromophore is one of the most versatile fluorophore building blocks in various
research fields, especially in life science and material science. It has attracted substantial …

Two new NIR‐absorbing BODIPY dyes, each bearing two pyridinium groups, are
synthesized and their DNA‐binding affinities and DNA photocleavage abilities examined in …
