We developed an asymmetric fluorescent sensor <b>1</b> for Cu<sup>2+</sup>, based on 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-<i>s</i>-indacene (BODIPY), by introducing 4-carboxyphenyl and bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine groups at the 5- and 3-positions, respectively, of the BODIPY core. We then investigated the photophysical and cation-sensing properties of the sensor. BODIPY <b>1</b> showed large absorption and fluorescence spectral shifts on binding to Cu<sup>2+</sup>. The fluorescence peak at 580 nm red ...[more]
