attached at the 5-and 5′-positions (BB3) or 6-and 6′-positions (BB4) were prepared and
characterized. In this work, the basic photophysics, electrochemistry, and electrogenerated
chemiluminescence (ECL) of BB3 and BB4 are compared with those previously reported for
a related bpy-BODIPY derivative (BB2)(J. Phys. Chem. C 2011, 115, 17993–18001). Cyclic
voltammetry revealed that BB3 and BB4 display reversible 2e–oxidation and reduction …
