Pyrrolo- and thiophenoperylenedicarboximides 4 and 7 were prepared by
reductive cyclization of 1-nitroperylenedicarboximides 3 and 5 with ph
osphorous acid esters and sulfur, respectively. The imides 4 and 7 are
highly fluorescent and are easily monofunctionalized by nucleophilic
substitution reactions which makes them useful for fluorescent labelin
