The global fitting of the data, taking into account the environmental polarity

In an attempt to create a single equation to globally fit the datasets measured in both methanol-

glycerol and toluene-Castor oil mixtures for each rotor we have expanded Equation 6 (main text)

with additional empirical polarity-dependent terms. In order to fit the data we had to use polarity-

dependent terms instead of constants a1, a3 and a4, resulting in the Equation S1 below.

Figure S3. The global fits of lifetime data in Figure 2, main text. The data for dyes 2, 3 and 1 are

shown in A), B) and C), respectively. The data obtained in methanol-glycerol and toluene-Castor oil

mixtures were fitted globally together using Equation S1:

a1…8 are free parameters, η is viscosity, T is temperature and ε is the average dielectric constant for

the solvent mixtures used. The value was 3.5 for toluene-Castor oil and 38 for methanol-glycerol

mixtures.

In order to fit the data for one fluorophore in two types of solvent mixtures using a single global fit

we had to include polarity-dependent empirical terms instead of constants a1, a3 and a4 in Equation

6, main text. Constant a4 needed to be replaced because the activation energy barrier for rotation is

polarity-dependent, as explained in main text. Interestingly, this was not enough in order to have a

good fit and we also needed to replace a1 and a3 with the polarity-dependent terms. The fitting

parameters are shown in Table S3 below.

Figure S4. The checks for aggregation of dyes 2 (A), 3 (B) and 6 (C) in SK-OV-3 cells. BODIPY

aggregates are known to emit at a higher wavelength and have a longer fluorescence lifetime than

BODIPY monomers. In order to ascertain their presence, the fluorescence decays were measured at

two ranges of wavelengths. The decays measured in A, B and C are similar, which indicates a small to

negligible degree of aggregation of 2, 3 and 6.

2. Synthesis and compound characterization

2.1 General Materials and Methods

The manipulation of all air and/or water sensitive compounds was carried out using standard inert

atmosphere techniques. All chemicals were used as received from commercial sources without

further purification. Anhydrous solvents were used as received from commercial sources. Analytical

thin layer chromatography (TLC) was carried out on Merck® aluminium backed silica gel 60 GF254

plates and visualization when required was achieved using UV light or I2. Flash column

chromatography was performed on silica gel 60 GF254 using a positive pressure of nitrogen with the

indicated solvent system. Where mixtures of solvents were used, ratios are reported by volume.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were recorded on 400 MHz spectrometers at ambient probe

temperature. Chemical shifts for 1H NMR spectra are recorded in parts per million from

tetramethylsilane with the solvent resonance as the internal standard (methanol: δ = 3.31 ppm). 13C

NMR spectra were recorded with complete proton decoupling. Chemical shifts are reported in parts

per million from tetramethylsilane with the solvent resonance as the internal standard (13CD3OD:

49.00 ppm). 19F NMR spectra were recorded with complete proton decoupling. Chemical shifts are

reported in parts per million referenced to the standard hexafluorobenzene: −164.9 ppm. Mass

spectra were carried out using ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI), and only molecular ions are reported.

BODIPY 6

Scheme S2. Synthesis of BODIPY 6: (i) 1,6-diiodohexane, K2CO3, DMF, Yield: 67%; (ii) neat pyrrole,

TFA, Yield: 96%; (iii) DDQ, CH2Cl2 and then (iv) BF3·(OEt2)2, Et3N, CH2Cl2, Yield: 20%; (v) N,N,N’,N’-

4-(6-iodohexyloxycarbonyl)benzaldehyde (11). 1,6-Diiodohexane (25 g, 74 mmol) was added to a

mixture of 4-formylbenzoic acid (1 g, 6.6 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.8 g, 13 mmol) in dry

N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 75°C for 3 h, then cooled down

to room temperature and diluted with CH2Cl2 (150 mL). The organic solution was washed with H2O (3

x 100 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and the solvents were removed by rotary

evaporation. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (2:1

CH2Cl2:petroleum ether), Rf 0.35, to give a colorless oil. Yield: 1.65 g (67%).

BODIPY 10. 4-(6-iodohexyloxycarbonyl)benzaldehyde (11) (1.6 g, 4.4 mmol) was dissolved in freshly

distilled pyrrole (20 mL, 288 mmol) and the resulting solution was degassed by sparging with N2 for

20 minutes before the addition of TFA (0.1 mL, 1.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 45 minutes at

room temperature, diluted with CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and then washed consecutively with H2O (100 mL),

NaHCO3 (100 mL, 0.5M) and H2O (100 mL). The organic extracts were dried over anhydrous MgSO4,

filtered and evaporated using a rotary evaporator. The excess pyrrole was removed using high

vaccum to give the dipyrromethane as a dark viscous oil. The crude dipyrromethane was purified by

flash chromatography on silica gel (2:1 CH2Cl2:petroleum ether), Rf 0.38, to give a green viscous oil.

Yield: 2 g (96%). The dipyrromethane (2 g, 4.2 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) and DDQ (0.96

g, 4.2 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature shielded from light

for 45 min. Then, Et3N (2 mL, 14.3 mmol) was added, followed immediately by the addition of

BF3·(OEt2)2 (1.5 mL, 11.9 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature

overnight.1 The organic solution was washed with H2O (100 mL), NH4Cl (100 mL, 0.5M), NaHCO3 (100

mL, 0.5 M) and finally H2O (100 mL), and then dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated

to give a black viscous oil which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (6:1 petroleum

BODIPY 6. To a solution of BODIPY 10 (150 mg, 0.28 mmol) in 2 mL of THF was added N,N,N',N'-

tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (3 mL, 18 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room

temperature overnight, during which time a dark-red waxy compound precipitated out from the

reaction mixture. The solvent and excess of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine were

removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the crude product was washed several times

with diethyl ether. This mono-charged intermediate, which was used without further purification,

was dissolved in DMF (2 mL) and iodomethane (1 mL, 16 mmol) was added to the solution.3 After

stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature overnight, the solvent was evaporated under

reduced pressure to give a dark red crude product which was purified by column chromatography on

silica gel (methanol, and then a mixture of 3:1 methanol:0.5 M NH4Cl), Rf 0.2. Fractions were

evaporated at 30°C to give a mixture of BODIPY 6 and NH4Cl which was further dissolved in

methanol and successively filtered to remove most of NH4Cl. The red-orange crude, which was still

contaminated with NH4Cl according to 1H-NMR, was dissolved in methanol and a saturated solution

of NH4PF6 in H2O was added in order to exchange counter-ions. The precipitate was isolated by

filtration, washed thoroughly with H2O, methanol and diethyl ether. Finally, the red-orange solid was

dissolved in acetone and passed through a Dowex® 1x8 200 mesh ion-exchange column (H2O).

Fractions were evaporated to dryness (at 30°C) to give BODIPY 6 as a red-orange wax. Yield: 75 mg
