Bis(ferrocenyl)-functionalized boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) compound 1 featuring direct Fc-B bonds was obtained via a "prefunctionalization strategy". UV-vis absorption, electrochemical, and transient absorption experiments were performed on compound 1 and its analogues to examine the impact of ferrocenyl substitution on the electronic properties. The ferrocene units were found to have little impact on the absorption spectrum of the BODIPY unit but significantly change the excited-state dynamics.
