description Silole- and phosphole-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds have attracted significant attention in the field of organic functional materials. The structure of the aromatic units has great impact on the photophysical properties of the resulting silole- and phosphole-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds. Here, dibenzo-fused naphtho[2,3-<i>b</i>:6,7-<i>b</i>′]disilole (NDS) and naphtho[2,3-<i>b</i>:6,7-<i>b</i>′]diphosphole (NDP), where a naphthalene unit is arranged between two silole and phosphole units, respectively, were designed and synthesized. The solid-state structures of them were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The photophysical properties were evaluated by UV−vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies and compared with those of their related compounds, such as dibenzo-fused silolo[3,2-<i>b</i>]silole and benzo[1,2-<i>b</i>:4,5-<i>b</i>′]disilole, ever reported. The longest wavelength absorption band of a series of silole-fused compounds was found to be red-shifted in the order benzo[1,2-<i>b</i>:4,5-<i>b</i>′]disilole < NDS < silolo[3,2-<i>b</i>]silole derivatives. For a series of phosphole-fused compounds, π-extension from phospholo[3,2-<i>b</i>]phosphole to NDP derivatives induces the lower absorption coefficient of the longest wavelength absorption band and the red-shift of the second longest wavelength absorption band. Both NDS and NDP exhibit much lower fluorescence quantum yields than their related compounds.
