The title compound, 2,6-bis(1-azaazulen-2-yl)pyridine (5), was synthesized by condensation between tropone (6) and 2,6-bis(pyridinioacetyl)pyridinium salt (7) in the presence of ammonium acetate. By slow addition of an acetic acid solution of the pyridinium salt 7 to a mixture of 6 and ammonium acetate the yield of 5 was improved. Physical properties of 5 were investigated. It is worthy to note that upon irradiation 5 shows strong emission in acidic media in contrast to very weak emission in neutral media.
