BODIPY laser dyes constitute a fascinating topic of research in modern photochemistry due to the large variety of options its chromophore offers, which is ready available for a multitude of synthetic routes. Indeed, in the literature one can find a huge battery of compounds based on the indacene core. The possibility of modulating the spectroscopic properties or inducing new photophysical processes by the substitution pattern of the BODIPY dyes has boosted the number of scientific and technological applications for these fluorophores. Along the following lines, I will overview the main results achieved in our laboratory with BODIPYs oriented to optoelectronic as well to biophotonic applications, stressing the more relevant photophysical issues to be considered in the design of a tailor-made BODIPY for a certain application and pointing out some of the remaining challenges.
BODIPY 激光染料由于其发色团提供了多种选择，为多种合成途径提供了可能，因此成为现代光化学研究中一个引人入胜的课题。事实上，在文献中可以找到大量基于吲达嗪核心的化合物。通过 BODIPY 染料的取代模式来调节光谱性质或诱导新的光物理过程的可能性，推动了这些荧光团在科学和技术应用方面的发展。接下来，我将概述我们实验室在光电和生物光子学应用方面的主要研究成果，重点介绍在为特定应用设计定制 BODIPY 时需要考虑的更相关的光物理问题，并指出一些尚存的挑战。
