– 8-(4-Nitrophenyl) BODIPY displays specific reactive properties due to its fluoroboron pyrrole structure and the 4-nitrophenyl segment, both of which can engage in various chemical reactions. For instance, under certain conditions, the nitro group can be reduced to an amino group, among other functional groups, while the boron atom and the pyrrole ring in the fluoroboron pyrrole structure can also react with some nucleophiles.
