Direct Photopatterning of BODIPY‐Based Small Molecules via Thiol‐ene Click Chemistry

Abstract We demonstrate a BODIPY‐based small molecule photopatterned surface by thiol‐ene click chemistry at room temperature utilizing only 366 nm UV light. The resulting cross‐linked polymer exhibits porous surfaces according to AFM and TEM results. A dramatic blue shift occurred in absorption spectra and the photoluminescence was also intensified as a result of crosslinking. Optical and electrochemical results are compatible with the DFT calculations. The obtained results prove that the photopatterned BODIPY‐based material can be easily and inexpensively applied in multilayer optoelectronic devices.
