Cover illustration: The cross-conjugated dye 5H,11H-dipyrrolo[1,2-b:1′,2′-g][2,6]naphthyridine-5,11-dione has interesting electrochemical and photophysical properties and has become a potential candidate in singlet fission for enhancing the performance of photo-voltaic device, two-photon absorption materials and photodynamic therapy agents. In order to explore the luminescence properties of such molecules in the near infrared region, the strategy of expanding the DPND conjugated system by introducing a pendant pyridine unit was adapted and 6,6′-diheptyl-3,3′-bis[(pyridin-3-yl)ethynyl]-5H,5′H-dipyrrolo[1,2-b:1′,2′-g][2,6]naphthyridine-5,5′-dione, DPND-3Py, was synthesized. The complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. The pendant heptyl chains adopt extended conformations and the dihedral angle between the pyrrole and pyridine rings is 8.18 (15)°. In the crystal, the molecules are arranged in columnar stacks propagating in the [010] direction via slipped aromatic π–π stacking interactions.
