Convergent Synthesis of Alternating Fluorene-p-xylene Oligomers and Delineation of the (Silver) Cation-Induced Folding
摘要:
Convergent synthetic routes for the preparation of hitherto unknown fluorene-p-xylene oligomers (containing up to 10 fluorene moieties) from readily available starting materials are described. The conformationally adaptable monomeric receptor (which is made of a pair of fluorene and one p-xylene ring, i.e., Z1 undergoes a simple C-C bond rotation in the presence of silver cations to produce a pi-prismand-like receptor which binds a single silver cation with remarkable efficiency (i.e., K approximate to 15 000 M-1). The data on H-1 NMR spectroscopic titrations with Ag+ together with the density functional theory and AM1 calculations allows us to establish that various oligomers of Z1(i. e... Z2-Z9) also undergo ready folding into the structures that contain multiple pi-prismand-like receptor sites in the presence of silver cations. The multiple cavities in Z3-Z9 accommodate a single silver cation per cavity with efficiency similar to that of Z1.

The invention relates to a resin composition which comprises a polymer having a divalent oligofluorene as a repeating unit therein, wherein the divalent oligofluorene contains at least two fluorene units optionally having a substituent, and the 9-positioned carbon atoms of the fluorene units bond to each other via a direct bond or via an alkylene group optionally having a substituent, an arylene group optionally having a substituent, or an aralkylene group optionally having a substituent, and a ratio of a retardation measured at a wavelength of 450 nm (Re450) to a retardation measured at a wavelength of 550 nm (Re550) satisfies the following formula (2): Re450/Re550≦1.0.
