positions, were synthesized and characterized. The reactivity of BODIPY 3b was
investigated under Stille cross-coupling reactions, and single crystal X-ray analysis was
used to confirm the regioselectivity of the reactions. Further substitution at the boron atom
produced nona-functionalized BODIPYs 7a, b, which show 676 and 739 nm emissions with
91 and 100 nm Stokes shifts, respectively.
