Upon complexation with Au(I), a photoinactive BODIPY derivative was transformed into a highly photoactive triplet sensitizer. Along with high efficiency in singlet oxygen generation (Phi(Delta) = 0.84), the new BODIPY Au(I) skeleton showed excellent photocytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines (EC50 = 2.5 nM).
