Thiaheterohelicenes. 3. Donor Properties of a Series of Benzene-Capped Thiaheterohelicenes. Structure of a Tetrathianonahelicene and its TCNQ Salt.
摘要:
The donor properties of a series of thiaheterohelicenes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The thiaheterohelicenes are oxidised to the corresponding cation radicals at potentials from 1.03 to 1.45 V vs. SCE. The structure of racemic 5,8,11,14-tetrathia[9]helicene 1 was solved. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca, with a=8.304(2), b=15.842(3), c=33.400(8) Angstrom, V=4394(2) Angstrom(3). Compound 1 can be oxidised to a rather unstable semiconducting salt, (1)(2)PF6. Treatment of racemic 1 with 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) gave an insulating solid, 1:TCNQ. The structure of 1:TCNQ was solved. 1:TCNQ crystallizes in the monoclinic system space group C2/c, with a=20.049(5), b=15.258(3), c=10.960(1) Angstrom, beta=103.78(2)degrees, V=3256(1) Angstrom(3). The compound crystallizes in a so-called mixed stack structure.
Thiaheterohelicenes. 1. Synthesis of Unsubstituted Thia[5]-, [9]- and [13]heterohelicenes.
摘要:
The unsubstituted thiaheterohelicenes, 5,8-dithia[5]helicene, 1, 5,8,11,14-tetrathia[9]helicene, 2, and 5,8,11, 14,17,20-hexathia[13]helicene, 3, have been prepared. The key reaction was the oxidative photolysis of 1,2-diaryl-substituted ethenes which were prepared by Wittig-Horner or McMurry reactions.
