- Description: The synthesis and characterization of a crown-ether-substituted 3-styrylBODIPY dye with a 4-isopropylphenyl group at the meso-position is reported. The effect that the incorporation of Na++ ions into the crown ether moiety has on the photophysical properties is investigated.

- Description: Optical limiting properties of 2,6-dibromo-3,5-distyrylBODIPY dyes were investigated by using the z-scan technique at 532 nm in the nanosecond pulse range. A strong reverse saturable absorption response was observed even in solution, which suggests that compounds of this type are potentially suitable for use in optical limiting applications.
