Organoborylazadipyrromethenes were synthesized from free base and fluoroborylazadipyrromethenes and characterized with regard to their structural and electronic properties. B鈥揘 bond lengths, along with photophysical and redox behavior, appear dependent on the effective electronegativity at the boron atom as tuned by its substituents, with stronger electronegativity correlating to a shorter B鈥揘 bond length, red-shifted absorbance, enhanced fluorescence lifetime and yield, and positively shifted redox potentials.
