title: Synthesis and properties of a series of carboranyl-BODIPYs.
abstract: A series of four BODIPYs containing one or twoortho- orpara-carborane clusters were synthesized using palladium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling or nucleophilic substitution reactions, at the 2,6- or the 8-positions of halogenated boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs). The spectroscopic, structural (including one X-ray) andin vitroBBB permeability of the BODIPYs using hCMEC/D3 brain endothelial cells were investigated.
