Arsenic‐bridged silafluorene and germafluorene were synthesized as a novel class of mixed‐heteroatom‐bridged heterofluorenes. Their structures, photophysical properties, and electronic natures were studied by experimental and computational means. The doubly‐bridged biphenyl moieties were distorted from the reported singly‐bridged ones. The intersystem crossing from the singlet excitation states to the triplet ones was enhanced by the arsenic‐bridging structures, implying that bridging through an arsenic atom is favorable for phosphorescence.
