How the nitro group position determines the emission properties of π-expanded diketopyrrolopyrroles Two complex π-expanded diketopyrrolopyrroles (EDPPs) have been prepared following a multistep but straightforward strategy. We discovered that the fate of these molecules in the excited state can be c...
