Here, we present the first example of sp3 hybridized carbon centered (Csp3) tetrel bonding mediated 3D BODIPY assembly via the exceptional synergy of Csp3⋯N and Csp3⋯F pair interactions. The carbon tetrel bond interaction energies of Csp3⋯N and Csp3⋯F are amplified significantly as the size of the 1D chain grows from dimer to tetramer BODIPY units.
