We describe a straightforward, postmodification synthesis for a family of thiophene-fused BODIPY dimers and tetramers through transforming flexible sulfur bridges into coplanar thiophene fusions. FeCl3 was used as a bifunctional oxidant for both intramolecular and intermolecular oxidative aromatic coupling reactions. Oxidative fusion and dimerization gave strong red-shift absorptions from 509 nm for a BODIPY monomer to 830 nm for a tetramer.
