title: Oxidation of 2-amino-substituted BODIPYs providing pyrazine-fused BODIPY trimers.
abstract: Oxidation of 2-amino-substituted BODIPYs afforded BODIPY trimers in a one-step operation. The trimer consists of a pyrazine-fused BODIPY dimer to which one BODIPY unit is connected through an NH linkage. Effective expansion of π-conjugation over the fused dimer was observed in optical and electrochemical measurements.
