The syntheses and electrochemistry of thieno[3′,4′∶5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-b]quinoxaline
(9), 2,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)[1,4]dithiino[2,3-b]quinoxaline
(16) and 2,3-ethylenedisulfanyl[1,4]dithiino[2,3-b]quinoxaline
(17) are reported, together with
the X-ray crystal structures of 9, 16 and the charge-transfer complex 9·TCNQ.
In the thieno derivative 9, the
molecular structure undergoes a significant change from a boat conformer to
a planar system, upon oxidation with TCNQ. Theoretical calculations show that
oxidation leads to planarisation of the molecular structure due
to the aromatisation of the dithiine moiety. The study of the oxidised/reduced
species helps to rationalise the electrochemical behaviour observed experimentally.
报告了噻吩[3′,4′∶5,6][1,4]二噻嗪[2,3-b]喹喔啉(9)、2,3-双(甲硫基)[1,4]二噻嗪[2,3-b]喹喔啉(16)和2,3-乙撑二硫基[1,4]二噻嗪[2,3-b]喹喔啉(17)的合成和电化学性质,以及9、16的X射线晶体结构和电荷转移复合物9·TCNQ。在噻吩衍生物9中,分子结构在TCNQ氧化后发生了重大变化,从船形构象转变为平面体系。理论计算表明,氧化导致分子结构平面化,这是由于二噻嗪部分的芳香化。对氧化/还原物种的研究有助于解释实验中观察到的电化学行为。
