Figure 4. Photo-triggered release of BODIPY by a photoactive Janus
dendrimer RH-NO2.(a) Qi description of
the reaction
( b) Confocal representative images of onions consisting of
RH-NO2 and
RH-RhB .Onions with looser lamellae are
irradiated for 2 sec with 405nm laser; after 1sec some lamellae are
peeled off from the vesicles while after 60s the vesicles are
completely. broken. In contrast, onions with tight lamellae are
completely broken after 1sec.
consisting of RH-NO2 and
RH-RhB loading BODIPY.After exposure for
5s with 405nm laser, 50-80% of BODIPY is released from these vesicles
(d)Onion dendrimersomes consisting of RH-12 and
RH-RhB preserve their structure after
exposure for 10s with 405nm laser. (e) Dendrimersomes consisting of
RH-12 and RH-RhB (red)
and loading Bodipy (green) are intact after laser exposure for 10s.
