Boron Dipyrromethene dyes (BODIPY) exhibit special optical fluorescence properties like high quantum yield and small Stokes shift. Substitution in position 8 opens a novel chemistry by the incorporation of ligands for metal sensing purposes. Functionalization of BODIPY core was performed by Transition Metals. We like to report the optical spectroscopy on different isomers of these dyes to determine differences due to steric interactions of o-Phenyl-CH2OH, m-phenyl-CH2OH, and p-phenyl-CH2OH 8-BODIPYs, as well as quantum yields, and X-ray analysis. We greatly acknowledge support by Welch Foundation, Houston, Texas, and CONACyTEG, Guanajuato, Mexico.
