Asymmetrization of the Indacene Core in the Molecules of Monobromine-Containing BODIPY Derivatives: Experiment and Theory

Abstract

The molecular structures and crystal packings of three new BODIPY compounds with a bromine atom in the α-, β-, and γ-position were analyzed. The asymmetrization of the central conjugated fragment was demonstrated for the first time, with its expression and localization determined by the position of the substituent relative to the borofluoride core of the molecule.
