Mutual Interference between Intramolecular Proton Transfer Sites through the Adjoining π-Conjugated System in Schiff Bases of Double-Headed, Fused Salicylaldehydes
摘要:
We synthesized two constitutionally isomeric bis(iminomethyl)-2,6-dihydroxynaphthalenes, namely, alpha,alpha-diimines 1 and beta,beta-diimines 2, which can be formally represented as fused salicylaldimines with resonance-assisted hydrogen-bonding sites. Spectroscopic data show that the OH/OH, NH/OH, and NH/NH forms of 1 were in equilibrium in solution and that the proportion of the NH-bearing tautomers increased as the solvent polarity increased. The UV spectra of thin solid films of 1 with various types of hydrogen-bonding networks differed from one another, and the spectral profiles were markedly temperature dependent, whereas the spectra of 1 in the molten state showed quite similar profiles. In contrast, 2 existed predominantly as the OH/OH form irrespective of the solvent polarity or crystal packing. Quantum chemical calculations suggest that the difference between the probabilities of intramolecular proton transfer in 1 and 2 can be explained in terms of the interplay between the resonance-assisted hydrogen-bonding sites and the adjoining pi-conjugated system.
Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Constitutional Isomers of 2,6-Dihydroxynaphthalene Carbaldehydes. Effects of Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bonding on the Electronic Absorption Spectra
characterized a series of mono- and dicarbaldehydes of 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene that bear potential resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB) unit(s). X-ray crystal structures of selected compounds revealed that each salicylaldehyde moiety forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond and that the introduction of formyl groups into either the α- or β-position causes a considerable difference in geometry, which
a noticeable solvent effect. Time‐dependent density functional theory calculations suggested that the absorption arose from a π → π* transition localized at the naphthalene ring, which was perturbed by the adjoining chelaterings. Effects of the connection topology in the fused salphen complexes are discussed by comparison with those of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Porphyrins are representative functional π-systems; synthesizing their highly ordered structures is an established goal in chemistry. Here, we report the designed synthesis of a series of porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks with highly ordered structures through polycondensation. The porphyrin-based frameworks exhibited high crystallinity, high porosity, and extended π-conjugation over the polyporphyrin sheets.
