Self-Assembled Fluorescent Hexaazatriphenylenes That Act as a Light-Harvesting Antenna
摘要:
In this paper we report the self-assembling nature of fluorescent hexaazatriphenylenes (HATs) 6a-d with six alkyl/alkoxy-chain-containing biphenyl groups and their application to light-harvesting antennae. In a nonpolar solvent and the film state, the HAT derivatives form one-dimensional aggregates with an H-type parallel stacking mode, which were analyzed by H-1 NMR, UV-vis, and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. When HAT derivative 7 with six perylenediimide moieties is incorporated into the one-dimensional aggregates, an efficient energy transfer takes place from the self-assembled HAT moiety as a light-harvesting antenna to the perylenediimide moiety as an energy acceptor. Further, when HAT derivative 8 with six triphenylamino moieties is newly added to the light-harvesting system, an intermolecular electron transfer occurs subsequently between the electron-accepting perylenediimide molecule and the electron-donating triphenylamino molecule.
Expanded π-Electron Systems, Tri(phenanthro)hexaazatriphenylenes and Tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes, That Are Self-Assembled To Form One-Dimensional Aggregates
This paper reports the self-assembling and electrochemical nature of hexaazatriphenylene-based electron-deficient heteroaromatics with an expanded pi-electron system The tri(phenanthro)hexaazatriphenylenes (TPHAT-Cs) and tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes (TPHAT-Ns) were prepared by condensation reactions or the corresponding phenanthrenequinonones and phenanthrolinediones respectively. with hexaaminobenzene Their election affinity was indicated from cyclic voltammetry measurements. In which the first reduction potentials were evaluated at mound -1 7 V (vs Fc/Fe+) in dichloromethane In nonpolar and polar solvents and in the film state. the TPHAT-Cs and TPHAT-Ns formed one-dimensional aggregates with an H-type stacking mode. In the MALDI-TOF mass spectra significant peaks were seen at several multiples of the parent ion up to tell;liner aggregates The NMR spectra indicated a line-broadening effect due to the aggregation The UV-vis and fluorescence spectra showed a concentration dependence which is. attributed to a dynamic exchange between the monomer and aggregate species The older of the aggregative nature was estimated from the concentration dependence and the fluorescence quantum yield By replacement of the peripheral aromatic moieties instead of the phenanthiene (TPHAT-Cs) with the phenanthroline (TPHAT-Ns). the aggregative nature was enhanced
Self-Assembling of n-Type Semiconductor Tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes with a Large Aromatic Core
Large disk-shaped aromatic tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes 5a, 5b, and 5c with six butyl, dodecyl, and 4-octylphenyl groups, respectively, were self-assembled both in solution and film state to form one-dimensional aggregates. Their n-type semiconducting nature was indicated from CV measurement, in which the first reduction potentials were evaluated at around -1.7 V (vs Fc/Fc(+)) in dichloromethane.
Flexible and enantioselective access to jaspine B and biologically active chain-modified analogues thereof
Whereas the all-cis tetrahydrofuran framework of the cytotoxic anhydrophytosphingosine jaspine B is considered as a relevant pharmacophore, little is known about the influence of the aliphatic chain of this amphiphilic molecule on its activity. We developed a synthetic strategy allowing flexible introduction of various lipophilic fragments in the jaspine's skeleton. The route was validated with two distinct approaches to jaspine B. Five chain-modified analogues were also prepared. Biological evaluation of these derivatives demonstrated a good correlation between their cytotoxicity and their capacity to inhibit conversion of ceramide into sphingomyelin in melanoma cells. A series of potent and selective inhibitors of sphingomyelin production was thus identified. Furthermore, the good overall potency of an ω-aminated analogue allowed us to dissociate of the pharmacological action of jaspine B from its amphiphilic nature.
