Abstract

Chiral organic fluorophores have significant promise in the development of efficient emitters of circularly polarized light. Herein we describe a helically chiral BODIPY with a hitherto unreported N,N,O,C-boron-chelation motif, synthesised via a one-pot boron metathesis, nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr), Suzuki coupling, boron chelation, cascade reaction. Resolution of the racemic BODIPY, by preparative chiral HPLC, allowed examination of the chiroptical properties of the resulting enantiomers (lmax(abs) = 593 nm, lmax(em) = 622 nm, e = 30,000 M-1 cm-1, fF = 0.49, │glum│ = 3.7x10-3 (hexane)). This is the first example of circularly polarised emission from a non-C2 symmetric helically chiral N,N,O,C-BODIPY and as such provides a valuable benchmark for future developments in this compound series.
