The role of higher excited states in the photophysics and photochemistry of a BODIPY-phenol derivative.
The photophysics and photochemistry of the BODIPY phenol derivative 1 were investigated using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies, combined with nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. Upon visible excitation (λ > 350 nm), rapid (sub-100 fs) internal conversion to S1 leads to the characteristic BODIPY emission aro...
