Ultalong nanowires self-assembled from a [b]-bisphenanthrene-fused azadipyrromethene

The 1D microwires based on pi-extended azaBODIPY were successfully prepared and characterized for the first time. The bisphenanthrene-fused azaBPP-12C with four hydrophobic chains was prepared through de novo synthesis method involving the Suzuki reaction and subsequent oxidative ring-fused coupling. The microwires and aggregation behavior were studied using SEM, XRD and absorption spectroscopy. Finally, an H-type aggregation was confirmed in the solution process.
