title: Rapid access to unusual solid-state luminescent merocyanines by a novel one-pot three-component synthesis.
abstract: A novel consecutive three-component coupling-enamine addition synthesis gives access to three types of diene merocyanines in a selective fashion and in good yields. Moreover, all these push-pull systems are intensely red or yellow emissive in the solid state and display large Stokes shifts.
