The rich chemistry of the BODIPY motif, together with its beneficial photophysical properties, has markedly boosted the popularity of this user-friendly fluorophore over the last few decades.[1]The diversity of easily incorporated fluorescence modulation modes has set the stage for a variety of sensorically active species.This study describes which physical-organic rationaleled to the development of the BOIMPY motif showing a significant red-shift with respect to the parent BODIPY.[2]In addition, a simple synthetic route to oligomerized ethano-linked BODIPYs (up to an octamer) is presented.[3]Photophysical properties are discussed by experimental and theoretical means. It is shown that the suprastructure of the oligomeric dyesplays asignificant role for their absorptionand emission properties.
