Gold(I) and Platinum(II) Tetracenes and Tetracenyldiacetylides: Structural and Fluorescence Color Changes Induced by σ-Metalation
摘要:
sigma-Metalation of tetracene can change the emission color of and introduce new structural dimensionality to the organic chromophore. Two synthetic entries to sigma-metallotetracenes have been explored, leading to emissive mononuclear (Ph3PAuI)-tetracene (1) and cis-[Br(Et3P)(2)Pt-II]-tetracene (2) and binuclear (R3PAu(I))(2)-tetracenyldiacetylide (R = Ph (4), Me (5)) and trans-[I(Et3P)(2)Pt-II](2)-tetracenyldiacetylide (6). Metalation can lower the emission energy of tetracene up to 0.53 eV. The X(Et3P)(2)Pt-II group (X = Br, I) has stronger perturbations on the tetracenyl ring than the R3PAu(I) group. sigma-Metalation also leads to different crystal packing of the complexes and thus arrangements of the tetracenyl rings. Aurophilic attraction operates in 5, leading to self-assembly of the molecules into a novel honeycomb structure composed of helical Au-I chains. In contrast to the other complexes, the crystal of 5 is not emissive, possibly due to efficient exciton delocalization.

predicted via time-dependent DFT calculations suggested that strong bridged ligands participate in redox processes. NIR absorptions were not observed in complexes 4+ and 5+ possibly because of instability in their twisted and noncoplanar geometry. Electron paramagnetic resonance results and spin density distribution demonstrated that the bridged localized degrees of 1+–5+ successively increased with the extension

Charge-delocalization of various monocationic diruthenium (p-diethynylacene)diylcomplexes was investigated. The distribution of the radicalcenters is dependent on the acene moieties; namely, the radicalcenters are shifted from the metal moiety (benzene) to the bridging dinuclear part (anthracene) and then to the acene part (pentacene).

The fluorescence spectra of these tetracenes span approximately 100 nm, while their observed rate constants for reaction with singletoxygen correlates strongly with the HOMO level, spanning one order of magnitude. They are also amenable to fluorescent materials that respond ratiometrically to singletoxygen. Therefore, electronic
并苯的光化学氧化可能对其光电应用(例如单线态裂变和有机晶体管)带来挑战。同时,这些反应构成了许多1 O 2发光传感方案的基础。虽然二乙炔基取代可以说是控制氧化并提高长并苯的溶解度和可加工性的各种取代策略中最广泛采用的,但炔基之间的差异对长并苯的关键性质的影响程度仍然很大程度上未知。因此,本报告描述了各种芳烃和杂芳烃对八种 5,12-二(芳基乙炔基)并四苯的电子结构、光学性质以及与单线态氧的反应性的影响。这些并四苯的荧光光谱跨度约为 100 nm,而观察到的与单线态氧反应的速率常数与 HOMO 能级密切相关,跨越一个数量级。它们还适用于对单线态氧成比例响应的荧光材料。因此,直接与乙炔缀合的基团的电子效应为合理的并苯设计提供了有用的化学空间。

Although long acenes remain a key class of pi-conjugated molecules for numerous applications, photoinduced oxidation upon exposure of the acene to light, often through sensitization of O-1(2), is an important reaction requiring mitigation for most applications. In response to this ongoing challenge, this paper presents a series of four new diarylethynyl-substituted long acenes-three tetracenes and one anthradithiophene-in which the arylene pendants are either benzene, naphthalene, or anthracene. UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that the anthracene-substituted derivatives fluoresce poorly (Phi < 0.01). Although all four long acenes react with O-1(2) at expected rates when an external photosensitizer is included and show the expected changes in fluorescence to accompany these reactions, the anthracene-substituted derivatives resist direct photoinduced oxidation. Through a combination of mechanistic experiments, we conclude that rapid nonradiative decay of the anthracene-substituted derivatives, perhaps because of inter-arene torsions that emerge in theoretical geometry optimizations, makes these compounds poor photosensitizers for O-1(2) or other reactive oxygen species. This discovery opens new design possibilities for extended acene structures with improved photochemical stability.
