Graphical Abstract

Das rechnergestützte Design tetraradikalischer S1-Zustände wurde experimentell durch Synthese und anschließende Charakterisierung einschließlich Phosphoreszenzmessungen, Gebrauch von Einfangmolekülen und Zellkultur-Untersuchungen bestätigt. Dies führte zu einer Reihe orthogonaler Bodipy-Chromophor-Dimere mit bemerkenswerten Singulett-Sauerstoff-Effizienzen (siehe Bild). Ein neuer Weg für die rationale Entwicklung effizienter Photosensibilisatoren wird somit vorgestellt.
