title: Decorating BODIPY with three- and four-coordinate boron groups.
abstract: Two new BODIPY derivative molecules decorated by a Lewis acidic BMes(2)(vinyl) group and a photochromic four-coordinate boryl chromophore, respectively, have been synthesized. Significant mutual influence on photophysical and photochemical properties by the different boron-containing units has been observed.
