RESUMEN
In this article, we present synthesis, spectral characteristics, and results of DFT calculations of new CH(R)-bis(BODIPY) 1-3. They are characterized by the conformational mobility and sensitivity of fluorescence to polarity, proton-, electron donor ability and viscosity of the solvation environment. It is shown that fluorescence intensity of 1-3 increases in the homologous series of alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol) mainly due to decrease of medium acidic properties. The viscosity of the medium effects on the 1-3 fluorescence in a lesser degree. Compared to 1 and 2, the 3 is the most sensitive towards viscosity both in low-viscosity homologous alcohols and in high-viscosity ethanol-glycerol mixtures. In this regard, the sensitivity of fluorescence of CH(MeOPh)-bis(BODIPY) (compound 3) to the viscosity was studied in binary mixtures of polar DMF and low-polarity toluene with castor and vaseline oils, as well as to the macroviscosity of the solvate environment in mixtures of toluene with polystyrene. Prospects of the practical application of CH(R)-bis(BODIPY)s are proposed for the analysis of polarity, proton-donor properties and viscosity of the medium.

In this paper the synthesis and spectral properties of three new dimeric bis(BODIPY)s with two indacene domains connected by a methylene (-CH2-) spacer at 2,2-, 2,3- or 3,3- positions were reported. It was found bis(BODIPY)s exhibit a high sensitivity of fluorescence to the medium properties. To interpret solvatochromic effects of bis(BODIPY)s, a multilinear correlation analysis of bis(BODIPY)s fluorescence quantum yields with respect to solvent different parameters was carried out. To understand the features of the spectral properties of bis(BODIPY)s, we carried out a thorough quantum-chemical analysis of the structural, conformational, and spectral characteristics of bis(BODIPY)s. The obtained bis(BODIPY)s have a high potential for application as sensors of medium polarity.
RESUMEN
The spectral-fluorescent properties of alkyl-substituted BODIPYs 1-5 in organic solvents were investigated. The alkyl-substituted BODIPYs 1-5 exhibit intense chromophoric properties (lgε=4.60-5.00). Relative fluorescence quantum yield of studied compounds reaches 66-100% and weakly dependent on the structural and solvation effects. Introduction of methyl, propyl, amyl and heptyl substituents in the 2,6-positions of the pyrroles the results in a significant red shift (22-29nm) in the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra.
