title: Carborane-Bodipy scaffolds for through space energy transfer.
abstract: Use of a closo-1,12-dicarbadecaborane backbone to link two different organic dyes separated by ca. 37 Å promotes exclusive through space electronic energy transfer with an efficiency of 81 to 87% with Stoke shifts between 4750 and 2800 cm(-1) depending on the pH.
