Abstract
AbstractSynthesis of tetraphenyl‐pyrrole‐2‐yl squaraines is introduced for the first time. An improved, reproducible and straightforward method for the preparation of 2,4‐diphenylpyrrole‐a key structural synthon for the preparation of the squaraines in question‐is reported. Both, squaraine dyes and all intermediates were fully characterized using spectroscopic methods, viz. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 2D NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC), FT‐ATR‐IR, ESI‐HRMS. The structures of tetraphenyl‐pyrrol‐2‐yl squaraines were unambiguously confirmed by single X‐ray analysis. The squaraines studied exhibit an intense absorption bands spanning from ca. 600 to 700 nm, entering to the spectral region, which is highly sought after for biomedical applications and advanced material technologies.
