Donor-acceptor effects on the optical limiting properties of BODIPY dyes

The main objectives of the research described in this thesis were firstly to synthesize and characterize a series of structurally related BODIPY dyes that are potentially suitable for use in applications, secondly to conjugate a carboxylic acid substituted BODIPY dye to amine-functionalized upconver...
