A near-IR emitting bodipy-based dye fitted with ancillary light harvesting units.
Despite limited spectral overlap and quite wide spatial separation, essentially quantitative electronic energy transfer occurs from peripheral Bodipy units to an expanded Bodipy core, the latter being attached via its B centre, so as to generate near-IR fluorescence.
