Fully Conjugated Pyrene–BODIPY and Pyrene–BODIPY–Ferrocene Dyads and Triads: Synthesis, Characterization, and Selective Noncovalent Interactions with Nanocarbon Materials

Several pyrene–boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) and pyrene–BODIPY–ferrocene derivatives with a fully conjugated pyrene fragment appended to the α-position(s) of the BODIPY core have been prepared by Knoevenagel condensation reaction and characterized by one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV–vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry as well as X-ray crystallography. The redox...
