Abstract
An unprecedented azobispyrrole framework is introduced, wherein two aryl-substituted pyrroles are joined by an azo (-NN-) linkage. Functionalisation was demonstrated via pyrrolic N-methylation and by -BF2 complexation using the coordinating abilities of the pyrrolic and azo nitrogen atoms. Control of co-planarity enables tunability with maximal absorption and emission spanning almost 300 nm.
