Unadulterated BODIPY-dimer nanoparticles with high stability and good biocompatibility for cellular imaging†
Abstract
Purely organic nanoparticles based on a BODIPY dimer, BDY-NPs, have been prepared for the first time using a nanoprecipitation procedure. The fluorescent nanoparticles have high physical homogeneity, good stability in water, and low cytotoxicity, which are suitable for cell imaging.
