The boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) have attracted great attention in recent decades with high molar extinction coefficients, fluorescent quantum yields, negligible triplet state formation, narrow emission bandwidths with high peak intensities, excellent thermal and photochemical stabilities. The electronic and photophysical properties of BODIPYs can be fine-tuned for different applications by the structural modification of the boron-dipyrrin core or by making their dimers and oligomers. Reports on covalently linked BODIPY dimers are on the rise but still there is a need to study the photophysical properties of mono and bridged BODIPY dimers.<br/>In this contribution, we focus our work on the meso-meso linked dimeric BODIPYs and mono BODIPYs with different alkyl substituents. We present the structure of BODIPYS, NMR, MALDI-MS, and photophysical properties.
