RESUMO

Mono-alkene-inserted [n]cycloparaphenylenes 1 [(ene)-[n]CPP] with n=6, 8, and 10, mono-ortho-phenylene-inserted [6]CPP 2, and di-alkene-insertved [n]CPP 3 [(ene)2 -[n]CPP] with n=4, 6, and 8 were synthesized by fusing CPP precursors and alkene or ortho- phenylene groups through coupling reactions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the strips formed by the π-surfaces of 1 and 2 exhibited a Möbius topology in the solid state. While the Möbius topology in the parent 1 and 2 in solution was lost due to the free rotation of the paraphenylene unit even at low temperatures, ene-[6]CPP 4 with eight 1-pyrrolyl groups preserved the Möbius topology even in solution. Despite a twist, 1 has in-plane conjugation and possesses a unique size dependence of the electronic properties: namely, the opposite size dependency of the HOMO-LUMO energy relative to conventional π-conjugated molecules.

RESUMO

The dianion and dication of tetramesityl-substituted tetracyclopentatetraphenylene, a circulene consisting of alternating five- and six-membered rings, have been generated by reduction with alkali metals and oxidation with antimony(V) halides, respectively. They are theoretically predicted to adopt double annulenoid structures called annulene-within-an-annulene models in which the outer and inner conjugation circuits are significantly decoupled. The theoretical structures were experimentally proven by X-ray crystallographic analyses and the electronic configurations were supported by MCD spectra. Based on the 13 C NMR chemical shifts, negative and positive charges are shown to be located mainly at the outer periphery, indicating that the dianion and dication have delocalized 22-π and 18-π electron outer perimeters, respectively, and 8-π electron structure at the inner ring. Notably, the dianion has an open-shell character, whereas the dication has a closed-shell ground state.

RESUMO

A selenacalix[4]selenophene derivative, a cyclic selenophene oligomer linked with divalent selenium atoms, was successfully synthesized via a one-pot cyclization reaction using 2,5-dibromo-3,4-bis(4-t-butylphenyl)selenophene and (Bu3Sn)2Se. The X-ray analysis revealed an annular geometry consisting of two sets of vertical and horizontal selenophene pairs. The observed geometry was preserved by intermolecular Se···Se and Se···π interactions, leading to a one-dimensional array. This self-assembled network results in a supramolecular gel, despite the absence of any hydrogen bonding sites.

RESUMO

A radical cation, generated from an extended π-conjugated thiophene 6-mer composed of four ethynylene-thienylene and two vinylene-thienylene units, was observed to form a stable three-dimensional π-dimer containing 70 π-electrons. The π-dimer prepared in solution was investigated by using magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), ESR spectroscopy, and UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy. Probing the individual NIR absorption bands showed that the MCD signals can be assigned to the pseudo Faraday A term, indicating that the absorption bands are comprised of nearly degenerate electronic transitions. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the π-dimer has a three-dimensional face-to-face and continuous π-conjugated donutlike structure. Analysis of the UV-vis-NIR and ESR spectra of the π-dimer in the solid state confirmed that it possesses the dimer structure. The prediction made by using TD-DFT calculations that the dimer would have a 70 π-electron diatropic nature was confirmed by using solid state 1H NMR spectroscopy.

RESUMO

A linear correlation between nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) and relative hardness for various sizes of antiaromatic 4n π-systems (n ≥ 2) was revealed with HF computations using the gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) and time-dependent (TD) methods. Based on this finding, a method to evaluate the relative hardness of 4n π-systems (n ≥ 2) as a new experimental measure of antiaromaticity has been developed.

RESUMO

One-electron and peracid oxidations of dithieno[3,4-b : 3',4'-d]thiophene cyclic dimer, which contains an antiaromatic planar cyclooctatetraene (COT) core, were conducted. The reaction of the cyclic dimer with SbCl5 produced isolable radical cation salts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the spin density of the radical cation resides not on the COT ring but on the peripheral sulfur and carbon atoms in the thiophene unit with retention of high antiaromaticity based on the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS). The peracid oxidation of the cyclic dimer was found to proceed not on the COT ring but on the bridging sulfur atom in the dithienothiophene moiety. The retention of the high antiaromaticity of the COT ring after the sulfoxide formation was experimentally confirmed based on the relative hardness, and also was theoretically supported by NICS calculations. Interestingly, the DFT calculations suggested that the high antiaromaticity does not enhance the reactivity towards the epoxidation on the COT ring.

RESUMO

Thermally stable bisdehydro[12]- and tetrakisdehydro[16]annulenes with planar structures were successfully synthesized by fusion with two dithieno[3,4- b:3',4'- d]thiophene units. The planarized [4n]annulene cores induced substantial antiaromaticity. However, the HOMO-LUMO gap slightly increased as the π-core expanded from the planar cyclooctatetraene. This phenomenon, in contrast to that of typical π-conjugated systems, was attributed to the decrease in antiaromaticity of the [4n]annulene cores. Both TD-HF and GIAO-HF calculations supported this conclusion.

RESUMO

Nitronyl nitroxide (NN)-substituted conjugated oligomers, which were expected to self-associate in biradical cation states, were designed to analyze the capability of π-dimers as molecular wires. The oligomer moieties were composed of dithienyl-N-methylpyrrole with methoxy substituents at the inner ß-position of thiophene rings (DTP-NN. ) and its propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) inserted derivative (DTP-P-NN. ), or two ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and two ProDOT units (E2 P2 -NN. ). Among them, chemical one-electron oxidation gave biradical cations (DTP-P).+ -NN. and (E2 P2 ).+ -NN. that formed π-dimers (DTP-P-NN. )22+ and (E2 P2 -NN. )22+ in dichloromethane at low temperatures. ESR studies of (DTP-P-NN. )22+ and (E2 P2 -NN. )22+ showed the presence of a relatively strong exchange interaction between two NN radicals through the radical cation π-dimer moieties. DFT calculations supported these experimental results and predicted that exchange interactions between two NN radicals were comparable or stronger than those through covalently linked quaterthiophene. Thus, the conjugated oligomer radical cation π-dimers acted as efficient molecular wires for electronic communication.

RESUMO

A Saturn-like 1:1 complex composed of macrocyclic oligothiophene E-8T7A and C60 fullerene (C60 ) was synthesized to investigate the interaction between macrocyclic oligothiophenes and C60 in solution and the solid state. Because the Saturn-like 1:1 complex E-8T7A⋅C60 is mainly stabilized by van der Waals interactions between C60 and the sulfur atoms of the E-8T7A macrocycle, C60 is rather weakly incorporated inside the macro-ring in solution. However, in the solid state the Saturn-like 1:1 complex preferentially formed single crystals or nanostructured polymorphs. Interestingly, X-ray analysis and theoretical calculations exhibited hindered rotation of C60 in the Saturn-like complex due to interactions between C60 and the sulfur atoms. Furthermore, the photoinduced charge transfer (CT) interaction between E-8T7A and C60 in solution was investigated by using femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The ultrafast TA spectral changes in the photoinduced absorption bands were attributed to the CT process in the Saturn-like structure.

RESUMO

Co-oligomers composed of two 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) units and two or three 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) units, i.e., 2E2PEt and 2E3PEt, were newly synthesized together with the ProDOT trimer 3PMe. On the basis of cyclic voltammetry, the gaps between the first and second oxidation potentials (ΔE1-2) of 2E2PEt and 2E3PEt were found to be larger than that of the previously synthesized ProDOT tetramer 4PHex. These co-oligomers gave the fairly stable radical cations 2E2PEt•+ and 2E3PEt•+ by chemical oxidation with AgSbF6. The disproportionation of 2E2PEt•+ and 2E3PEt•+ into neutral and dicationic species, which was observed for 4PHex•+, was inhibited in accord with the larger ΔE1-2. Additionally, the formation of the π-dimers (3PMe)22+, (2E2PEt)22+, and (2E3PE)22+ was clearly observed in dichloromethane solution at low temperatures with UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the π-dimerization enthalpies of 2E2PEt•+ and 2E3PEt•+ were greater than that of 3PMe•+, suggesting the formation of fully π-contacted structures. The structures of the π-dimers were optimized at the B97D3 method, and the calculated absorption spectra of the π-dimers obtained using TD-DFT methods were in reasonable agreement with the observed ones, supporting the reliability of the calculated structures.

RESUMO

The enantiomers of a new cyclic oligothiophene, bridged by two pseudo-ortho[2.2]paracyclophanes, were synthesized as a new class of the chiral π-conjugated system. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a twisted structure for these oligothiophenes induced by a torsion of the cyclophane moieties. The embedding oligothiophenes into the inherent planar chirality provided a significant enhancement in circular dichroism (CD) spectra thanks to the large magnetic/electric transition dipole moments. In the dicationic state, an intramolecular π dimer was formed due to the strong interactions of the oligothiophenes. We further recorded unprecedented wide ranges of CD spectra in 250-1800 nm region. The transitions are reasonably described by the exciton coupling of the oligothiophenes.

RESUMO

The oxidation processes of [n]cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs) (n=5-12) were systematically investigated by cyclic and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. All CPPs underwent pseudo-reversible two-electron oxidation irrespective of ring size, forming the corresponding radical cations and then dications. The results were in sharp contrast to those observed for linear oligoparaphenylenes, which only undergo one-electron oxidation. The difference in the first and second oxidation potentials in the CPP oxidation was affected by the ring size and became more significant as the decrease of CPP size. In other words, while the first oxidation from neutral CPP to the radical cation occurred faster as the size of CPP becomes smaller, the second oxidation from the radical cation to dication exhibited opposite size dependence.

RESUMO

A series of thiacalix[n]dithiothiophenes (n=4-10) was prepared by a facile method and X-ray analysis was used to determine the molecular structures of square- (4-mer) and pentagonal-shaped macrocycles (5-mer). In the cyclic voltammograms, reversible multielectron redox processes, which are due to electronic delocalization, were observed at low oxidation potentials. The cyclic 4-mer acted as a "Janus-head" cavitand for two C60 molecules, whereas the 5- and 6-mer formed stable 1:1 complexes with C60 .

RESUMO

Two isomers of a multifunctional π-expanded macrocyclic oligothiophene 8-mer, E,E-1 and Z,Z-1, were synthesized using a McMurry coupling of a dialdehyde composed of four 2,5-thienylene and three ethynylene units under high dilution conditions. On the other hand, cyclo[8](2,5-thienylene-ethynylene) 2 was synthesized by intramolecular Sonogashira cyclization of ethynyl bromide 5. From STM measurements, both E,E-1 and Z,Z-1 formed self-assembled monolayers at the solid-liquid interface to produce porous networks, and from X-ray analyses of E,E-1 and 2, both compounds had a round shape with a honeycomb stacked structure. E,E-1 formed various fibrous polymorphs due to nanophase separation of the macrorings. E,E-1 and Z,Z-1 in solution exhibited photochromism upon irradiation with visible and UV light, respectively, and this photoisomerization was confirmed by using STM. Furthermore, amorphous films of Z,Z-1 and E,E-1 showed photoisomerization, although single crystals, fibers, and square tubes of E,E-1 remained unchanged under similar conditions. E,E-1 with a 12.5-14.7 Å inner cavity incorporated fullerene C60 in the cavity in solution and the solid state to produce a Saturn-like complex, whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis. 2 also formed a Saturn-like complex with C60 in the solid state. These Saturn-like complexes are stabilized by van der Waals interactions between the sulfur atoms of 8-mer and C60. The complexes exhibited charge-transfer interactions in the solid state. Like E,E-1, Saturn-like complex E,E-1⊃C60 formed small cube and fiber structures depending on the solvent used, whereas those of Saturn-like complex 2⊃C60 were limited due to the rigidity of the macroring of 2.

RESUMO

Multifunctional π-expanded macrocyclic oligothiophene 6-mer 1, as well as 9- (2) and 12-mers (3), was synthesized using a McMurry coupling reaction as the key step. The 6-mer 1 was converted to cyclo[6](2,5-thienylene-ethynylene) (4) by using a bromination-dehydrobromination procedure. From X-ray analysis, the crystal structures of nonplanar 1 and round-shaped 2 and 4 were elucidated. STM showed that 4 formed a self-assembled monolayer at the liquid/solid interface to produce a hexagonal porous network. Chemical oxidation of 1, 2, and 4 with 1 and 2 equiv of Fe(ClO4)3 produced 1(•+) and 1(2+), 2(•+) and 2(2+), and 4(•+) and 4(2+), respectively. Although oligothiophene radical cations containing ß,ß-disubstituted thiophenes usually do not form π-dimers, 4(•+) clearly formed a π-dimer owing to its planar, round shape. As for the dications of 1, 2, and 4, 1(2+), which has 34π-electrons, exhibited a large diatropic ring current effect, whereas 34π dication 4(2+) only showed a medium diatropic ring current effect. In contrast to 1(2+) and 4(2+), 52π dication 2(2+) had biradical cationic character instead of Hückel-type cyclic conjugation. Interestingly, 6-mer 1 showed polymorphism and unusual melting point behavior due to the number of stable conformations in the solid state. Single crystals of 1 melted at 176 °C, whereas an amorphous film of 1 crystallized in the temperature range of 80-83 °C to form a lamellarly stacked microcrystalline film, which melted at 139 °C. The polymorphism of 1 was applied to either fluorescence switching or switching of field effect transistor (FET) activity and electrical conductivity.

RESUMO

A series of 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-N-methylpyrrole derivatives 1a-1d with methylthio end-capping groups and electron-donating substituents at the 3-position of the thiophene rings was synthesized, and the effects of the substituents on the structure, stability, and π-dimerization ability of the radical cation were investigated using UV-vis-NIR and electron spin resonance spectra and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Among the electron-donating methyl, methoxy, and methylthio substituents, the methoxy derivative 1c gave the most stable radical cation, which persisted in dichloromethane at room temperature under nitrogen for several hours without any apparent decomposition. In addition, 1c(•+) had the largest π-dimerization enthalpy among 1a(•+)-1d(•+). DFT calculations with the M06-2X method revealed that methyl and methylthio derivatives 1b(•+) and 1d(•+) as well as 1c(•+) adopt a cis-cis conformation, in contrast to the trans-trans conformer of unsubstituted 1a(•+), while the π-dimers of all of these compounds were shown to have a cis-cis conformation. On the basis of further detailed analyses, the preformed cis-cis conformation and the weaker intramolecular and intermolecular steric repulsions were considered to explain why 1c(•+) has the largest π-dimerization enthalpy.

RESUMO

The design and synthesis of a new planar cyclooctatetraene (COT) with protons directly connected to the COT ring was attained by monoannelation with dithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-d]thiophene. The planar structure of the COT core was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The magnetic antiaromaticity of the COT core was found to be higher than that of the previously synthesized planar COTs with olefinic protons, according to the results of (1)H NMR and absorption spectra as well as NICS calculations.

RESUMO

The expeditious synthesis of donor-acceptor segregated paracyclophanes has been achieved by a selective SNAr reaction of hexafluorobenzene with o-dipyrrolylbenzenes and subsequent cyclodehydrogenation. An orthogonally arranged D-A segregated structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The combined results of DFT calculations and absorption spectra revealed the charge transfer (CT) nature from the naphthobipyrrole (donor) to the stacked fluoroarene moiety (acceptor).

RESUMO

A novel pyrrole-fused azacoronene family was synthesized via oxidative cyclodehydrogenation of the corresponding hexaarylbenzenes as the key step, and the crystal structures of tetraazacoronene 3b and triazacoronene 4a were elucidated. The photophysical properties for neutral compounds 1-4 were investigated using steady-state UV-vis absorption/emission spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy (emission spectra and lifetime measurements) at both room temperature and 77 K. The observation of both fluorescence and phosphorescence allowed us to estimate the small S1-T1 energy gap (ΔES-T) to be 0.35 eV (1a), 0.26 eV (2a), and 0.36 eV (4a). Similar to the case of previously reported hexapyrrolohexaazacoronene 1 (HPHAC), electrochemical oxidation revealed up to four reversible oxidation processes for all of the new compounds. The charge and spin delocalization properties of the series of azacoronene π-systems were examined using UV-vis-NIR absorption, ESR, and NMR spectroscopies for the chemically generated radical cations and dications. Combined with the theoretical calculations, the experimental results clearly demonstrated that the replacement of pyrrole rings with dialkoxybenzene plays a critical role in the electronic communication, where resonance structures significantly contribute to the thermodynamic stability of the cationic charges/spins and determine the spin multiplicities. For HPHAC 1 and pentaazacoronene 2, the overall aromaticity predicted for closed-shell dications 1(2+) and 2(2+) was primarily based on the theoretical calculations, and the open-shell singlet biradical or triplet character was anticipated for tetraazacoronene 3(2+) and triazacoronene 4(2+) with the aid of theoretical calculations. These polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent the first series of nitrogen-containing PAHs that can be multiply oxidized.

RESUMO

Tetra[2,3-thienylene] planarised by sulphur bridges and radially π-extended with (triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl groups had a narrow HOMO-LUMO gap due to the antiaromatic cyclooctatetraene core, and its single crystal FET device exhibited ambipolar characteristics with hole and electron mobilities of up to 0.40 and 0.18 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively.
