Abstract:
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.
