title: Cl-BODIPYs: a BODIPY class enabling facile B-substitution.
abstract: Cl-BODIPYs, synthesized in high yields from dipyrrins under air- and moisture-free conditions, are extremely facile to substitution at boron compared to their corresponding F-BODIPYs, opening up a new route to BODIPYs functionalized at boron.
