Abstract
tune their spectroscopic properties, and therefore they have been used in many scientific and technological fields (Burgess, 2007(Burgess, , 2013Ziessel, 2008;Dehaen, 2012, 2019;Wu, 2014;Shen, 2014, 2016;Kikuchi, 2015;Zhao, 2015;Bañuelos, 2016;Hao, and Jiao, 2019;Akkaya, 2019). This research topic mainly focus on the most innovative research regarding the synthesis, spectroscopic properties, theoretical calculations and application of BODIPY dyes and their derivatives. Four reviews and six original research articles by recognized academic experts are collected, which will offer a broad perspective for BODIPY chemistry and provide powerful guidances for the future rational design of BODIPY dyes and their derivatives with properties suitable for applications. We believe this eBook should attract the attention of multidisciplinary researchers and promote BODIPY chemistry continue to be topics of a vibrant, highly multidisciplinary research field.
