Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field of chemistry which has attracted much
attention in recent years as a result of its broad applicability in many areas. Thus, the
design of functional supramolecular systems is strongly in demand in this field. For this
purpose, we have developed novel phenylethynyl-BODIPY oligomer series which have
absorption and emission maxima at the red part of the visible region of electromagnetic
spectrum. Careful design to assemble the decyl groups to the system allowed us to
dissolve the molecules in organic solvents easily. That`s why, not only we could
characterize the molecules, but also spectroscopic and photopysical properties of them
were investigated. As expected, as the number of repeating units &ldquo / n&rdquo / increase, peak
absorption and emission wavelengths are shifted to the red end of the visible spectrum,
with smaller increments as &ldquo / n&rdquo / increases. Consequently, these rigid rod like overall
arrangement of oligomers could lead to applications as functional building blocks.
