Abstract Three novel D−A‐D type small molecules Boron Fluoride Complexed Dipyridylmethine (BODIPY), BDP1‐3, linked through styryl with various strong electron donor units, such as carbazole, phenothiazine, fluorene, were designed and synthesized. The results suggest that the donor have significant effect on their photophysical and electrochemical properties. All these BDP1‐3 exhibit the obvious broader and red‐shifted absorption, the molecular absorption spectrum to range of 300–700 nm and the high molar extinction coefficients. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMU) energy level of them are calculated to be −5.18 eV and −3.21 eV, respectively. The broad and intense absorption, suitable HOMO‐LUMO energy levels make BDP1‐3 potential candidates for light‐harvesting and photovoltaic application.
