title: Ultrafast dynamics of a new class of highly fluorescent boron difluoride dyes.
abstract: The first ultrafast study of the dimeric fluorescent BF2 dye BOPHY is presented. When compared to a structurally related BODIPY dye, similar photophysical dynamics are observed, including an intermediate kinetic component present in both dye types.
