Abstract
The synthesis of novel bodipy based fluorophores appended to pyridine (py), terpyridine (terpy), and phenanthroline (phen) cores has been performed using three different methods. The most effective and reliable method consists in cross coupling an iodo functionalized bodipy with ethynyl grafted oligopyridines. The cross coupling the other way around from an ethynyl functionalized bodipy is less effective due to a homocoupling reaction leading to the butadiyne bridged species. For the less stable alkynes, a one-pot protocol, under phase transfer conditions, using the trimethylsilyl-protected alkynes has been finalized. Compounds exhibit very strong absorption and emission properties in the visible.

. A benzene (15 mL)/H2O (10 mL) biphasic mixture containing 5,5′-bis-trimethylsilylethynyl-2:2′;6′:2′′-terpyridine (14; 0.042 g, 0.099 mmol), 1 (0.100 g, 0.198 mmol), NaOH (0.04 g, 0.99 mmol), Et3BzNCl (0.001 g, 0.006 mmol) was strongly degassed with argon. To this solution Pd(PPh3)4 (0.014 g, 0.012 mmol) and CuI (0.0025 g, 0.01 mmol) was then added and the reaction was heated under argon, at 60 °C during 1 d. The benzene was then removed, H2O added, and the compound extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic fractions were dried over MgSO4, and a chromatography on alumina (Al2O3, CH2Cl2/hexane, 1:1, v:v) afforded the pure compound as a red powder (0.089 g, 87%).1H NMR (300.1 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 0.99 (t, 12 H, 3
