A fluorescent dye, the pyridomethene-BF(2) complex, has been synthesized. Although pyridomethenes did not exhibit fluorescence, pyridomethene-BF(2) complexes exhibited fluorescence both in solution and in the solid state. The trifluoromethyl-substituted BF(2) complex formed a J-aggregate and showed the highest fluorescence quantum yield in the solid state among all pyridomethene-BF(2) complexes.
