47. The 2-fold Suzuki reaction in the previous synthesis demanded more laborious conditions as well as a more difficult chromatographic purification and afforded lower yields.

53. 2(dppe)] was only tried once. The HT 1H NMR spectrum of the GPC-separated main fraction showed a minor singlet peak at δ ) 3.34 ppm, possibly a hint at an incomplete terminal acetylene conversion during the cyclization reaction.

59. The decrease in fluorescence lifetime with increasing conjugation length is caused by several effects: (1) highly efficient intramolecular energy transfer, (2) reduced vibronic coupling, (3) increased oscillator strength, and (4) singlet state trapping defects.
