A series of P-benzyl functionalised dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-b] phospholes with different substitution pattern at the phosphorus as well as the conjugated scaffold was synthesised and characterised via optical spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray crystallography was performed on one species. The experimentally observed data were solidified with density functional theory calculations. In contrast to related benzylated P-phenyl phospholium species, the new systems show pronounced photoluminescence in solution, with the exception of the phosphole sulfide species. The observed photophysics could be explained with dominating π→π*transitions, despite the presence of the benzyl group that had been found to quench the fluorescence in the predecessor benzyl system with P-phenyl substituent.
