Geometry relaxation-induced large stokes shift in red-emitting borondipyrromethenes (BODIPY) and applications in fluorescent thiol probes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo202215x

2-Thienyl and 2,6-bisthienyl BODIPY derivatives (BS-SS and BS-DS) were prepared that show intense absorption (ε = 65000 M^-1 cm ^-1 at 507 nm) and a large Stokes shift (96 nm) vs the small Stokes shift of typical BODIPY (<15 nm). Contr
