Dithienogermole (DTG) has been extensively studied as a useful building unit of optical/semiconducting materials because of its extended conjugation, high chemical stability, and good emissive properties. In this work, to further uncover the new functionalities of this useful building unit, various π‐conjugated groups were introduced on Ge of DTG. New DTG derivatives with bulky aryl substituents showed efficient photoenergy transfer between the DTG core and the substituents, indicating the potential application of the new DTG system as optical functional materials.
