title: Selective lateral lithiation of methyl BODIPYs: synthesis, photophysics, and electrochemistry of new meso derivatives.
abstract: Selected meso BODIPYs (chemically reactive, difficult to obtain by established procedures, or photophysically or electrochemically attractive) have been obtained by unprecedented selective lateral lithiation of 8-methylBODIPYs. The physical study of the obtained new meso BODIPYs reveals interesting tunable properties related to the activation of intramolecular charge-transfer processes, endorsing the new synthetic methodology as useful for the development of smarter BODIPY dyes for technological applications.
