All exhibited fluorescence enhancement in the presence of water in organic solvents. Water-soluble tetrad BODIPY derivatives were obtained by displacement of fluoride at the boron atom by a bicyclic structure, and their fluorescence response was observed over a wide range of water contents in various organic solvents. The presence of acids or metal ions induced only a fluorescence shift and retained the fluorescence efciency., Dyes and Pigments, 212, art. no. 111081; 2023}, title = {Fluorescent probes based on a tetrad BODIPY structure for detection of a wide range of water contents in organic solvents}, volume = {212}, year = {2023} }
