The synthesis, photophysical properties, and a biological application of BODIPY-triazole 1 (BOT1) are described. BOT1 juxtaposes a BODIPY fluorophore with a tripodal ligand platform via a triazole bridge. The triazole linker is afforded by azide-alkyne "click" chemistry and comprises the third arm of the tripodal architecture. BOT1 binds Cu(2+) in aqueous solution to form a Cu(II)[BOT1] complex in which emission from the BODIPY moiety is efficiently quenched. This complex exhibits a prompt turn- ...[more]
