Abstract
An amine-embedded flexible alkyl strap has been incorporated into an emissive boryl-substituted dithienylpyrrole skeleton as a new entity of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) chromophores. The π-electron system shows a dual emission, which covers a wide range of the visible region depending on the solvent polarity. The incorporation of the aminoalkyl strap as well as the terminal boryl groups efficiently stabilize the zwitterionic excited-state species resulting from the ESIPT even in an aqueous medium.
