Sticking together : Direct fusion of pyrene rings with diporphyrins can be achieved without prior activation of aromatic rings. This simple method gives pyrene–diporphyrin hybrids (see picture, C (pyrene) red, C (porphyrin) dark blue, N light blue, Zn green) with a high near‐infrared (NIR) absorption that reaches the wavelengths required for use in telecommunications.
