Introducing the substituted azobispyrrole framework: synthesis and properties. Chem Commun (Camb). 2025 Jul 3. doi: 10.1039/d5cc02884a. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 40605751.https://hdl.handle.net/10222/85243An unprecedented azobispyrrole framework is introduced, wherein two aryl-substituted pyrroles are joined by an azo (-NN-) 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.Article
