Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with extended conjugation and broad absorption properties are interesting due to their easy accessibility, response to external stimuli and high stability. Herein, we report synthesis and full characterization of four compounds having multiple photoactive units in conjugation with a central pyrene group. The compound 2 with extended conjugation showed high fluorescence intensity in the solid state. Since the target molecules are non‐toxic and highly fluorescent, water dispersible nanoparticles were prepared from these molecules and explored for cellular imaging.
