A novel series Y-shaped π-expanded imidazole based chromophores was designed and synthesized. The series contains thirteen 2-aryl-4,5-bis[2-(aryl)vinyl)]-1H-imidazoles (6a-6m), which were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The structures of compounds 6d and 6j were also confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The optical
