    A Cyclopalladated Bodipy Construct as a Fluorescent Probe for Carbon Monoxide
    (Wiley, 2022) Çevik Eren, Merve; Eren, Ahmet; Dartar, Suay; Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa
    By introducing a palladium ion into the backbone of BODIPY, we devised a cyclopalladated BODIPY construct that was almost non-emissive in the absence of any analyte but became highly fluorescent upon interacting with carbon monoxide (CO) in solution and in living cells. A process of ortho-carbonylation and depalladation mediated by the specific binding of CO to palladium, promoted the release of the heavy atom from the fluorophore and consequently generated a fluorescence signal with an exceptionally high (60-fold) enhancement ratio.

    Bodipy-Vinyl Dibromides as Triplet Sensitisers for Photodynamic Therapy and Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Dartar, Suay; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Karakuş, Erman; Hou, Yuqi; Zhao, Jianzhang; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa
    We devised a new generation of halogen-based triplet sensitisers comprising geminal dibromides at the vinyl backbone of a BODIPY fluorophore. Incorporating geminal dibromides into the pi-conjugation of BODIPY enhanced intersystem crossing due to the heavy atom effect, which in turn improved the extent of excited triplet states.
