First representatives of functionalized D–π–A chromophores containing a tunable hydroxytricyanopyrrole (HTCP) acceptor and N,N-disubstituted aminophenyl donor

D–π–A chromophores based on a hydroxytricyanopyrrole (HTCP) acceptor and N,N-disubstituted aminophenyl donor are described for the first time. Their absorption properties were thoroughly studied.
