The synthesis and optical properties of a novel series of disilanylene-bridged BODIPY-based D-σ-A chromophores are reported. Si-Si σ-electrons are useful and impressible for tunable optical properties. The electron-donating group facilitates enhancement of the CT nature of the excited state through σ(Si-Si) orbital, leading to the remarkable two-photon absorption cross-sections.
