Photophysical properties of the dye in various organic solvents were investigated. It was shown that due to a fourfold extinction coefficient increase and a moderate quantum yield decrease the brightness of the tetra-BODIPY dye in low-polarity solvents, calculated per molecule, increased 3 times when compared to mono-BODIPY. By contrast, in polar solvents there was a dramatic drop in brightness apparently associated with intramolecular interactions of the low-polar BODIPY chromophores.
