Abstract:
The light fantastic : Two new 2‐(benzo[b]thiophene‐3‐yl)pyrroles have been synthesized, and are shown to exhibit optical properties that are promising for optoelectronic materials and devices such as highly efficient fluorescent sensors (see scheme). In addition a new BODIPY fluorophore, derived from 2‐(benzo[b]thiophene‐3‐yl)pyrrole, was also isolated and shows good spectroscopic properties in solution which are fully preserved in the solid state.
