Diacetylene macrocycles 2-4 (n = 1-3) (R = H, C4H9, C6H13, C10H21, C12H25, OC10H21) have been prepared from the oxidative coupling of 1,2-diethynylbenzene derivatives. These compounds can be produced in useful quantities and are of interest as precursors to novel conjugated organic polymers. The reported results indicate that when the R groups are large the dimeric macrocycle (n = 1) can be prepared in as high as 74% yield from the corresponding 1,2-diethynylbenzene in a one-step procedure. An alternate multistep procedure was found to produce the tetrameric macrocycle (n = 3, R = C6H13) in 45 % yield. The highly strained dimeric macrocycle was characterized by an X-ray structure and was found to be very reactive. The dimers undergo a rapid very exothermic polymerization at 100-125-degrees-C, indicative of a chain reaction. Reaction of the dimeric macrocycles with iodine results in intramolecular cyclization and a new 20pi electron tetraiodide fused ring system. Reaction of the tetraiodide with oxygen produces a related compound in which two of the iodides have been converted to ketones.
Spectroscopic properties of macrocyclic oligo(phenyldiacetylenes)-II. Synthesis and theoretical study of diacetylenic dehydrobenzoannulene derivatives with weak electron-donor and -acceptor groups
Diacetylenic dehydrobenzo[12]annulene and dehydrobenzo[18]annulene derivatives with electron-donor and -acceptor groups were synthesized (including push-pull Eglinton-Galbraith dimer derivative 1c) via an oxidative coupling reaction, and spectroscopically and structurally characterized. The solid-solid phase transition in 1b has been revealedat 45 degrees C by DSC measurements. Its room temperature crystal structure has been solved by X-ray diffraction measurements. The H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shifts, UV/vis and infrared absorption spectra and Raman scattering spectra have been analyzed by using ground-state DFT calculations. The strongest absorptions in the UV/vis spectra of I and 2 most probably are not due to the HOMO -> LUMO excitations but due to the (HOMO-1)-> LUMO and HOMO ->(LUMO + 1) excitations. The substitution effects on the electronic charge distribution of the all-carbon annulenic cores can be particularly well observed in the distribution of IR intensities in the region of acetylenic stretching vibrations. IR intensities are thus useful in studying the extent of resonance interactions also in acetylenic macrocycles. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

What IF? Fullyconjugated, formally antiaromaticindeno[1,2‐b]fluorenes (IFs; see structure) were synthesized from the corresponding diones by the SnCl2‐promoted reduction often used to generate acenes. Their optoelectronic properties suggest that indenofluorenes might serve as alternatives to the more traditionally utilized acenes such as pentacene for materials applications.
