these two families were studied in order to determine their suitability as emissive materials in photonic applications.

The boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) or 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a
lasing applications. Previously, we have designed star-shaped systems featuring energy transfer by incorporating acceptor chromophore units either within the arms [23], or in the core [24], of parent blue-emissive star-shapedoligofluorene systems. This strategy provides the ability to tune emission and
has been studied very recently in devices for visible light communications, showing great potential to replace commercially available phosphor-based materials in light emitting diodes [42]. In summary, incorporation of BODIPY as a core in star-shapedoligofluorene systems was shown to be useful in
