BODIPY–Tetrazine Derivatives as Superbright Bioorthogonal Turn‐on Probes

The fastest and the brightest: A new design that intimately connects tetrazine to a BODIPY fluorophore enables exceptionally efficient energy transfer and quenching. Upon reaction of the tetrazine, the brightness of the fluorophore increases more than a thousand-fold, which is a fluorogenic activation up to two orders of magnitude greater than previously described.
