Abstract

Novel BODIPY derivatives exhibiting environmental polarity and combined environmental polarity/Hg<sup>2+</sup> and Pb<sup>2+</sup> fluorescence sensing properties have been prepared. The sensing properties are the result of a switchable photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) quenching mechanism.
