Bis(dicarboximide) derivatives possessing methanobenzo[10]annulene skeleton were synthesized. The annulation of another dicarboximide on mono(dicarboximide), namely 1,6-methanobenzo [10] annulene-3,4-dicarboximide, provided the improvement of their molar extinction coefficients and fluorescence quantum yields. The change in photophysical behavior between mono(dicarboximide) and bis(dicarboximide) was explained by collaboration with theoretical calculations.
