A novel family of π-extended viologens has been synthesized by a concise 3-step route from simple and readily available chemicals. The π-enlargement gives the system new photophysical and electrochemical properties such as photoluminescence and changed redox potentials. A new family of π-extended viologens, in which two pyridine rings are bridged by two o-phenylene subunits, has been designed and synthesized via a very concise route from simple and readily available chemicals. Two representative π-extended viologens were studied by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The π-extended viologens exhibit admirable physicochemical properties such as intense emissions, reversible redox property and tunable oxidative potentials as well as high thermal stability.
