title: Readily synthesized novel fluorescent dipyrrinones.
abstract: A new, highly fluorescent (phiF up to 0.85) rigid anti-Z-dipyrrinone chromophore has been synthesized in high yield in a one-pot reaction by condensing two monopyrroles in the presence of DBU to form the pyrrolo[3,2-f]indolizine-4,6-dione nucleus.
