Numerical calculations were performed partly at the Supercomputer Laboratory of Kyoto University and the Research Center for Computational Science, Okazaki, Japan. This Letter was carried out with the NMR spectrometer in the JURC at Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University. This research was supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) through its Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology (FIRST Program).

N2 - 5,11-Bis(phenylethynyl)benzo[1,2-f:4,5-f′]diisoindole-1,3, 7,9(2H,8H)-tetraone 1H was designed as an application of the theoretical design principle for fluorescent molecules which is derived from the vibronic coupling density analysis. For solubility reasons, tertiary-butylated 1H, 2,8-di-tert-butyl-5,11-bis(phenylethynyl)benzo[1,2-f:4,5-f′] diisoindole-1,3,7,9(2H,8H)-tetraone 1 was synthesized and its fluorescence properties were measured. It is found that the photoluminescence quantum yield of 1 was 96%. We discuss the rationale for designing 1H as a highly efficient fluorescent molecule, and compare the theoretical calculations for 1 with the observed absorption and photoluminescence spectra.
