The intramolecular rotation of 4-farnesyloxyphenyl-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza- s-indacene (BODIPY-ISO) was controlled by tuning its local physical environment within a mixed self-assembled monolayer at an air-water interface. Intramolecular rotation was investigated by considering the twisted i...
