Facile Bottom-Up Synthesis of Coronene-based 3-Fold Symmetrical and Highly Substituted Nanographenes from Simple Aromatics
摘要:
A facile and efficient self-sorting assemble (CSA) strategy has been paved for bottom-up construction of the 3-fold symmetrical and highly substituted hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronenes (c-HBCs), the trithieno analogues, and larger disc-shaped PAHs from simple chemicals using benzylic carbons as tenon joints and a novel FeCl3-mediated AAA process as a key step. The structures of the as-prepared c-HBCs and related NGs were clearly identified by spectral analyses and X-ray crystallographic studies. Moreover, these can be envisaged to serve as new launching platforms for the construction of larger and more complex g-conjugated molecules and supramolecular architectures because of the modifiable and symmetrical decorations.

A rational synthesis for dibenzo[fg,op]naphthacene derivatives (also named as dibenzopyrene) is described. The methodology involves the preparation of a quaterphenyl using a palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of arylboronic acids followed by chemical or photochemical cyclization. The versatility of the process is shown by the formation of various dibenzo[fg,op]naphthacene derivatives having identical or non-identical peripheral chains. All the new compounds exhibit a single mesophase, which has been identified by X-ray diffractometry and optical microscopy as hexagonal columnar (Colh). X-Ray results confirm that hexasubstituted dibenzonaphthacenes are more ordered than octasubstituted derivatives.
