In this study, terpyridine/phenantroline BODIPY derivatives were synthesized for the preparation of their multicomponent metallosupramolecular Zn(II) self-assemblies. For heteroleptic self agregation of the terpyridine-BODIPY and phenantroline-BODIPY derivatives using HETTAP approach, a sterically hindered phenantroline BODIPY derivative was synthesized. Metallosupramolecular complex architectures were prepared with Bodipy chromophores and integral phenanthroline and terpyridine units, which assemble in the presence of Zn(OTf)2. All synthesized metallosupramolecular aggregates showed efficient energy transfer from donor dyes to the acceptor core.
