Abstract:
Three monosubstituted 3-phenylselanyl and 3-phenyltellanyl BODIPY derivatives were synthesized and their spectroscopic properties were characterized and compared to those of iodine and chlorine-atoms containing analogues as well as an unsubstituted BODIPY derivative. The fluorescence quantum yields were found to decrease, whereas the intersystem crossing quantum yields (ΦISC), determined by transient spectroscopy, increased in the order of the H → Cl → Se/I → Te substitution. The maximum ΦISC, found for the 3-phenyltellanyl derivative, was 59%. The results are interpreted in terms of the internal heavy-atom effect of the substituents.

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
