We have just found out how to make nitroaromatics fluoresce. The new strategy relies on linking electron-deficient dipyrrolonaphthyridinedione core with nitro groups through biaryl linkage: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We discovered a route to quadrupolar, very photostable pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrroles possessing two B−—N+ dative bonds and having strong emission in the 520-670 nm range: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
