RESUMEN
We present the stereospecific synthesis of helicenoid-based phosphepines (7-membered P-rings) as well as chiral P-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In these systems, an axial to central chirality transfer takes place from the BINAP moiety to the P-atom. The impact of the molecular design on the structure, the (chir)optical (including circularly polarized luminescence) and redox properties are investigated.
RESUMEN
In this letter, we present the synthesis of a new family of π-extended dithieno[ b, f]phosphepines. The Pd-catalyzed direct arylation allows the introduction of various substituents, which tune the absorption/emission in the visible range as well as the redox properties. All those modifications were rationalized through DFT calculations. The physical properties of ambipolar phosphepine with diphenylamino substituents inspired us to use it as a semiconductor in p-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).
RESUMEN
A new synthetic route toward the synthesis of benzo[b]phospholes- and benzo[b]siloles-fused pyrenes using a transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation is described. The compounds were fully characterized including X-ray diffraction. A combined experimental and theoretical study shows that both the heteroatom and the substitution pattern impact the optical and redox properties.
