A series of 11 cross-conjugated cruciform fluorophores based on a benzobisimidazole nucleus has been synthesized and characterized. Like in their previously reported benzobisoxazole counterparts, the HOMOs of these new fluorophores are localized along the vertical bisethynylbenzene axes, while their LUMOs remain relatively delocalized across the molecule, except in cruciforms substituted with electron-withdrawing groups along the vertical axis. Benzobisimidazole cruciforms exhibit a pronounced response to deprotonation in their UV/vis absorption and emission spectra, but their response to protonation is significantly attenuated. (Chemical Equation Presented).

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF AROMATIC AZOLE COMPOUNDS
Aromatic azole compounds such as 2-(4-aminophenyl)-5-amino-benzimidazole are prepared in an organic sulfonic acid solvent instead of polyphosphoric acid. This allows recovery and recycle of the solvent and avoids the handling and environmental concerns resulting from the use of polyphosphoric acid. The resulting compounds find use in the pharmaceutical industry, as anticorrosion agents, and as precursors for high-performance fibers having high strength, stiffness, and flame resistance.
