title: Functionalisation of fluorescent BODIPY dyes by nucleophilic substitution.
abstract: The BODIPY chromophore can be easily modified by nucleophilic mono- or disubstitution of 3,5-dichloroBODIPY with O-, N-, S- and C-nucleophiles. Absorption and fluorescence spectral data of the new BODIPY derivatives are also reported.
