Dibenzophosphapentaphenes: Exploiting P Chemistry for Gap Fine-Tuning and Coordination-Driven Assembly of Planar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
摘要:
A synthetic route to planar P-modified polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is described. The presence of a reactive sigma(3),lambda(3)-P moiety within the sp(2)-carbon scaffold allows the preparation of a new family of PAHs displaying tunable optical and redox properties. Their frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) are derived from the corresponding phosphole MOs and show extended conjugation with the entire pi framework. The coordination ability of the P center allows the coordination-driven assembly of two molecular PAHs onto a Au-I ion.

Polycyclic AromaticHydrocarbons (PAHs) with planar, twisted and negatively curved topologies were obtained from polycyclic phospholes using pericyclic reactions. Deviation from planarity is due to steric interactions between the PAH core and the ester substituents. These structural effects on the optical and redox properties were studied and rationalized through DFT calculations. This synthetic approach
