Boron Difluoride Complexes of Expanded N-Confused Calix[n]phyrins That Demonstrate Unique Luminescent and Lasing Properties

by Masatoshi Ishida, Toshihiro Omagari, Ryuji Hirosawa, Keisuke Jono, Young Mo Sung, Yuhsuke Yasutake, Hidemitsu Uno, Motoki Toganoh, Hajime Nakanotani, Susumu Fukatsu, Dongho Kim, Hiroyuki Furuta

Abstract

Complexation of novel multiply N-confused expanded calix[n]phyrins with boron difluoride afforded a new class of cyclic BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) arrays. The structures of circularly arranged BODIPY subunits linked in an N-confused fashion give rise to such photophysical properties unique to the macrocycles as redshifted emission wavelengths along with apparent large Stokes shifts, long emission lifetimes, and solid-state lasing. The DFT calculations support the size-dependent excited-state dynamics of the macrocycles.

Thermisch induzierte Carbohydroxylierung von Styrolen mit Aryldiazoniumsalzen

by Stephanie Kindt, Karina Wicht, Markus R. Heinrich

Abstract

Die radikalische Carbohydroxylierung von Styrolen mit Aryldiazoniumsalzen konnte unter milden thermischen Bedingungen durchgeführt werden. Ein breites Spektrum von Aryldiazoniumsalzen war einsetzbar, und das auf einem gemischt radikalisch-ionischen Mechanismus basierende Reaktionsprinzip ließ sich auf eine Carboveretherung sowie auf eine zweistufige, metallfreie Variante der Meerwein-Arylierung ausdehnen, die zu Stilbenen führt.

Spontaneous Formation of an Air-Stable Radical upon the Direct Fusion of Diphenylmethane to a Triarylporphyrin

by Kenichi Kato, Wonhee Cha, Juwon Oh, Ko Furukawa, Hideki Yorimitsu, Dongho Kim, Atsuhiro Osuka

Abstract

The direct fusion of a diphenylmethane segment to a NiII 5,10,15-triarylporphyrin with three linkages furnished an air- and moisture-stable neutral radical through unexpected and spontaneous oxidation. This radical was demetalated by treatment with H2SO4 and CF3CO2H to provide the corresponding free-base radical. These porphyrin radicals are very stable owing to spin delocalization and have been fully characterized through UV/Vis/NIR absorption spectroscopy, X-ray crystallographic analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electrochemical studies, laser-based ultrafast spectroscopic studies, and theoretical calculations. They were chemically oxidized and reduced to the corresponding cation and anion but did not react with hydrogen-atom donors.

Authors: Jakub Dostál, Jakub Pšenčík & Donatas Zigmantas

Effective light capture in photosynthetic organisms depends on the efficiency of all energy-transfer steps in the photosynthetic unit. Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy has now been used on intact cells in situ to reveal and characterize the functional connectivity between individual complexes in the photosynthetic apparatus of green sulfur bacteria.

Super-heptazethrene

by Wangdong Zeng, Zhe Sun, Tun Seng Herng, Théo P. Gonçalves, Tullimilli Y. Gopalakrishna, Kuo-Wei Huang, Jun Ding, Jishan Wu

Abstract

The challenging synthesis of a laterally extended heptazethrene molecule, the super-heptazethrene derivative SHZ-CF3, is reported. This molecule was prepared using a strategy involving a multiple selective intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation followed by oxidative dehydrogenation. Compound SHZ-CF3 exhibits an open-shell singlet diradical ground state with a much larger diradical character compared with the heptazethrene derivatives. An intermediate dibenzo-terrylene SHZ-2H was also obtained during the synthesis. This study provides a new synthetic method to access large-size quinoidal polycyclic hydrocarbons with unique physical properties.

Double Ring Expansion from an Aromatic [18]Porphyrin(1.1.1.1) to an Antiaromatic [20]Porphyrin(2.1.2.1)

by Masataka Umetani, Takayuki Tanaka, Taeyeon Kim, Dongho Kim, Atsuhiro Osuka

Abstract

Double ring expansion from a 5,15-diarylporphyrin to a 5,16-diaryl-10,11,21,22-tetradehydro[20]porphyrin(2.1.2.1) occurred through a reaction sequence consisting of oxidation with PbO2 to 5,15-dioxoporphodimethene, a Corey–Fuchs reaction with tetrabromomethane in the presence of triphenylphosphine, and Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement triggered by tert-butyllithium. The obtained tetradehydro[20]porphyrin(2.1.2.1) and its mono- and dihydrogenated congeners exhibited 20 π antiaromatic character, whereas overhydrogenated congeners bearing a saturated bridge were nonaromatic owing to disrupted π conjugation.

Diese planaren 20 π-Porphyrine erwiesen sich als antiaromatisch.

An Electron-Poor C64 Nanographene by Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade C−C Bond Formation: One-Pot Synthesis and Single-Crystal Structure Analysis

by Sabine Seifert, Kazutaka Shoyama, David Schmidt, Frank Würthner

Abstract

Herein, we report the one-pot synthesis of an electron-poor nanographene containing dicarboximide groups at the corners. We efficiently combined palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and dehydrohalogenation to synthesize an extended two-dimensional π-scaffold of defined size in a single chemical operation starting from N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,5-dibromo-1,8-naphthalimide and a tetrasubstituted pyrene boronic acid ester as readily accessible starting materials. The reaction of these precursors under the conditions commonly used for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling afforded a C64 nanographene through the formation of ten C−C bonds in a one-pot process. Single-crystal X-ray analysis unequivocally confirmed the structure of this unique extended aromatic molecule with a planar geometry. The optical and electrochemical properties of this largest ever synthesized planar electron-poor nanographene skeleton were also analyzed.

Synthesis of Di-peri-dinaphthoporphyrins by PtCl2-Mediated Cyclization of Quinodimethane-type Porphyrins

by Masataka Umetani, Koji Naoda, Takayuki Tanaka, Seung-Kyu Lee, Juwon Oh, Dongho Kim, Atsuhiro Osuka

Abstract

Di-peri-dinaphthoporphyrins can be regarded as a key and common substructure of fused porphyrinoids. PtCl2-mediated cycloisomerization reaction of quinodimethane-type porphyrins provided these doubly fused porphyrins, which exhibit characteristic paratropic ring currents that presumably arise from 24π antiaromatic circuit as a dominant resonance contributor. UV/Vis absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and excited-state dynamics as well as theoretical calculation support this conclusion.

Zum Kern der Sache: Di-peri-dinaphthoporphyrine wurden durch PtCl2-vermittelte Cycloisomerisierung von Chinodimethanporphyrinen synthetisiert. Diese Porphyrine können als Substruktur kondensierter Porphyrinoide angesehen werden, für die mittels 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie, UV/Vis-Absorption, Zyklovoltammetrie und NICS-Rechnungen eine antiaromatische 24π-Konjugation als dominante Resonanzstruktur nachgewiesen wurde.

Dibenzo[a,j]phenazine-Cored Donor–Acceptor–Donor Compounds as Green-to-Red/NIR Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light Emitters

by Przemyslaw Data, Piotr Pander, Masato Okazaki, Youhei Takeda, Satoshi Minakata, Andrew P. Monkman

Abstract

A new family of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters based on U-shaped D-A-D architecture with a novel accepting unit has been developed. All investigated compounds have small singlet-triplet energy splitting (ΔEST) ranging from 0.02 to 0.20 eV and showed efficient TADF properties. The lowest triplet state of the acceptor unit plays the key role in the TADF mechanism. OLEDs fabricated with these TADF emitters achieved excellent efficiencies up to 16 % external quantum efficiency (EQE).

Organische Leuchtdioden, die mit diesen neuen Materialien hergestellt wurden, erreichen externe Quantenausbeuten bis zu 16 %.

Covalent functionalization and passivation of exfoliated black phosphorus via aryl diazonium chemistry

by Christopher R. Ryder

Nature Chemistry. doi:10.1038/nchem.2505

Authors: Christopher R. Ryder, Joshua D. Wood, Spencer A. Wells, Yang Yang, Deep Jariwala, Tobin J. Marks, George C. Schatz & Mark C. Hersam

Few-layer black phosphorus (BP) is a promising semiconductor, but it is highly reactive and susceptible to ambient degradation. Covalent functionalization with aryl radicals has now been shown to significantly improve the stability of exfoliated BP, as well as the performance of BP-based electronic devices through a controllable p-type doping effect.
