The relationship between the number of BODIPY in a compound and the increase on its fluorescence has been established such as an aggregation induced by multiple BODIPY. We aimed to determine the influence of an electron donor substituent in the BODIPY-triazine system. In this sense, as a first step, we collected data such as photophysical characteristics about BODIPY without substituent and meso -triazine-BODIPY system. Then, three more meso -triazine-BODIPY were synthetized by Lyndsey method. In addition, absorption and emission spectra, fluorescence quantum yields and time-resolved fluorescence data were obtained. Furthermore, solvatochromism was determined by solvent descriptors and photophysical parameters. Finally, the results showed that the triazine core stabilized the system and we observed that the number of BODIPY increased fluorescence mainly in polar solvents. While electron donation maintained the conjugation that reduced the influence of the solvent on the photophysical characteristics.
