The 14H15BF2N2O2, which comprises a boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) backbone and a propionic acid group, has been determined at 100 K. The BODIPY fused-ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.032 (2) Å. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a tape along the a axis. The tapes are stacked along the c axis through C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions.

1. Chemical context
Boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes have promising applications in material sciences for labeling biomolecules such as et al., 2012). Moreover, their spectroscopic and photophysical properties are easy to tune by attachment of some residues at the appropriate positions of the difluoroboron dipyrromethene moiety (Loudet & Burgess, 2007; Ulrich et al., 2008). Herein we report the of the title compound (Fig. 1) having the BODIPY fragment.
proteins, and BODIPY dyes have many advantages over other dyes, such as robustness against light and chemicals, high absorption coefficients and fluorescence quantum yields, narrow emission bandwidths, and so on (Boens2. Structural commentary
The title compound is composed of a boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) backbone and a propionic acid group. The BODIPY fused-ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.032 (2) Å for atom N4. The bond lengths in the BODIPY framework indicate the strongly delocalized π-system nature [C—C = 1.374 (2)–1.425 (2) Å and C—N = 1.346 (2)–1.401 (2) Å; Fig. 1]. There are weak intramolecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds present (C11—H11A⋯F1 and C13—H13B⋯F1; Table 1).
3. Supramolecular features
Packing diagrams of the title compound are shown in Figs. 2–4. A pair of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid groups of opposite-facing molecules connect the two molecules (O16—H16⋯O15ii; symmetry code as in Table 1), forming inversion dimers (Fig. 2), and these dimers are linked into a tape structure along the a-axis direction via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (C2—H2⋯O16iii; symmetry code as in Table 1). Furthermore, extended stacking of the tapes along the c-axis direction forms a layer parallel to the ac plane (Fig. 3) via C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds (C14—H14A⋯F1iv; symmetry code as in Table 1) and π–π interactions [Cg1⋯Cg2iv = 3.7802 (8) Å; symmetry code: (iv) x, y, z + 1; Cg1 and Cg 2 are the centroids of the N4/C1–C3/C9 and N5/C5–C7/C10 five-membered rings, respectively]. Between the layers, intermolecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π interactions (C11—H11B⋯F2i and C6—H6⋯Cg2i; symmetry code as in Table 1) are observed (Fig. 4).
4. Database survey
A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD Version 5.38; Groom et al., 2016) for BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes) derivatives yielded 806 hits. Until 2001, there were only five reports [CSD refcode OCEBIL10 (Bonfiglio et al., 1983), JEHFUX (Picou et al., 1990), RETLUX (Kollmannsberger et al., 1997), QAQTOR (Chen et al., 1999) and XEJQAE (Burghart et al., 1999)], but as the utility of BODIPY dyes was recognized, structural reports increased significantly. In all cases, the nearly planar BODIPY skeleton is modified with various functional groups, but no compound having a carboxylic acid directly attached to the BODIPY skeleton has been reported.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
The title compound was synthesized according to a previously described method (Giessler et al., 2010; Bihovsky & Pendrak, 1996). The compound was purified by Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation from a mixed solution of cyclohexane/dichloromethane (1:1 vv) at room temperature.
6. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . The H atom of the carboxyl group was refined freely, while the other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for methylene and aromatic H atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
