title: Synthesis, structures, redox and photophysical properties of benzodifuran-functionalised pyrene and anthracene fluorophores.
abstract: Benzodifuran-functionalised pyrene and anthracene fluorophores 1 and 2 were obtained in reasonable yields. Their single crystal structures, electrochemical, optical absorption, and fluorescence characteristics have been described. They show strong luminescence with high quantum yields of 0.53 for 1 and 0.48 for 2.
