Abstract
A dissymmetrically substituted orthogonal BODIPY dimer and an orthogonal BODIPY trimer exist as two stable conformers, which are in fact atropisomeric enantiomers. The racemic mixture can be separated by HPLC using a chiral stationary phase. These enantiomeric derivatives hold great potential as chiral agents in asymmetric synthesis, fluorogenic/chromogenic sensing, and biological applications.
