In this study, the effects of the heteroaromatic indole ring on the chemical and photophysical properties of BODIPY (4,4‐difluoro‐4‐bora‐3a,4a‐diaza‐ s ‐indacene) dyes were investigated. Four BODIPY derivatives with indole rings at the meso‐ position were synthesized and three of them were converted into the corresponding styryl‐derivatives in reasonable yields. To obtain a more complex indole‐based trimeric BODIPY derivative in the form of a triazatruxene, several attempts were made by using indole trimerization chemistry and the photophysical studies on the resulting triazatruxene‐BODIPY dye revealed a solvent polarity dependent fluorescence behavior, which may be important in the prospective organic electronic applications.
