Redox switchable catalysis utilizing a fluorescent dye.

ABSTRACT: This report describes the implementation of a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) dye into the ligand framework of a Rh-based catalyst. The redox-active nature of the BODIPY dye is utilized to generate a catalyst that is capable of exhibiting redox-switchable catalytic behavior for the hydroboration of alkenes through a BODIPY-based reduction.
