@article{10272/16177, year = {2017}, month = {12}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/16177}, abstract = {The excited-state behavior of four-coordinate N,C-chelate organoboron dyes, based on arylisoquinoline ligands with varying degree of charge-transfer character, was characterized. Data related to excited triplet state formation, oxygen quenching, and singlet-oxygen formation were obtained. The results jointly rationalize the previously observed high photostability of the dyes in air-equilibrated media. Furthermore, femtosecond transient absorption experiments enabled the spectroscopic visualization of the excited intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state that gives rise to the fluorescence of the dyes.}, organization = {The funding by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness (grants CTQ2014-54729-C2-1-P for U.P., CTQ2014-54729-C2-2-P for F.B., CTQ2013-48164-C2-1-P, CTQ2013-48164-C2-2-P for A.R., Ramon y Cajal contract RYC-2013-12585 for A.R.), the European Union (ERDF), the Andalusian Government (grants 2012/FQM-2140 for U.P., 2009/FQM-4537 and 2012/FQM-1078 for A.R.), and the University of Huelva (postdoctoral contract for V.F.P.) is gratefully acknowledged.}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, keywords = {Charge transfer}, keywords = {Fluorescence}, keywords = {Organoboron dyes}, keywords = {Photophysics}, keywords = {Singlet oxygen}, title = {Excited-State Pathways of Four-Coordinate N,C-Chelate Organoboron Dyes}, doi = {10.1002/cptc.201700176}, author = {Boscá Mayans, Francisco and Cuquerella Alabort, Maria Consuelo and Fernandes Pais, Vania Cristina and Ros Lao, Abel and Pischel, Uwe}, }
