Compounds with fluorescent properties are widely used in many fields of medicine and industry. It is especially important and relevant to use them for marking cells, in high-efficiency diode solar energy lamps and light-emitting diodes (OLED screens), as well as an organic additive in perovskite systems. The purpose of our work was the synthesis of new conjugated bis-indoles with potential fluorescence capability. The target conjugated 1,2-bis(2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethenes were synthesized by the condensation reaction of 2-phenyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehydes based on the McMurry reaction. We determined the optimal reaction conditions. We studied the structure of target products by physical research methods. By means of ultraviolet spectroscopy, we determined that our synthesized compounds have the ability to fluoresce.
