First synthesis and electronic properties of (hetero)aryl bridged and directly linked redox active phenothiazinyl dyads and triads
摘要:
Phenothiazinyl dyads and triads with variable functionalization can be synthesized in good yields by Suzuki coupling with suitable phenothiazinyl boronates. In addition, the structure of the phenylated phenothiazine (6) has been corroborated by an X-ray structure analysis. According to cyclic voltammetry these oligofunctional heterocyclic oligomers are strongly electronically coupled and represent suitable functional units for novel redox active molecular wires.

The pseudo five-component Sonogashira-Glaser cyclization synthesis of symmetrically 2,5-diaryl-substituted thiophenes is excellently suited to access thienyl-bridged oligophenothiazines in a one-pot fashion. Three thienyl-bridged systems were intensively studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as by cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation proceeds with lower oxidation potentials and consistently

Dumbbell-shaped diphenothiazines bridged by conjugatively linked (hetero)aromatic moieties were synthesized in a modular fashion by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in good yields. The electronic structure was studied by DFT computations, determining the geometry optimized lowest energy conformers and scrutinizing the Kohn-Sham FMOs. The torsional deviation from coplanarity is predominantly influencing the electronic structure, i.e., by deviation from ideal overlap and maximal electron transmission. The reversible oxidation potentials assigned to the phenothiazinyl electrophores in most cases can thereby be qualitatively rationalized. All dumbbell-shaped diphenothiazines are strongly luminescent, which can be attributed to extended pi-electron conjugation with considerable excited state electronic coupling as a consequence of large structural and electronic distributional changes upon photoexcitation.
