•The optical activity of several different types of chiral BODIPY is summarized.•The design strategies are elaborated.•The CD spectra and electronic structures are analyzed.•Molecular modeling calculations are carried out.
This review highlights and summarizes various optically active BODIPY molecules and describes the analysis of their circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy, to provide a platform for the rational design of novel optically active BODIPY structures and the development of new chiroptical applications. Possible future research directions are also discussed.
