Pyrene is a versatile chromophore, which iswidely used as a building block in organic materials employed in optoelectronicdevice applications. Herein, we report the effective synthesis of new tetrarylsubstituted pyrenes, Pyrene-[Ar]4 (1  ), Figure 1. The absorption and fluorescencespectra as well as the fluorescence quantum yields, fluorescence lifetimes,solvatochromic and electrochemical properties of 1  arepresented. An inexpensive and rapid method to fabricate crystalline nanowirescomposed of 1 , using anodic aluminum oxide templates (AAO), is also reported. Figure 1.   Tetraaryl substitute pyrenes 1 .
