Synthesis and Properties of a Fluorene-Capped Isotruxene: A New Unsymmetrical Star-Shaped π-System
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]An unsymmetrical star-shaped d-system (1) with an isotruxene core and three fluorene arms has been synthesized, and its photophysical, electrochemical, and thermochemical properties have been investigated and compared with the corresponding symmetrical truxene derivatives 2a-d (Kanibolotsky, A. L.; Berridge, R.; Skabara, P. J.; Perepichka, I. F.; Bradley, D. D. C.; Koeberg, M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 13695-13702). Stronger electronic couplings between the arms in 1 vs 2a-d lead to lower optical band gap, larger splitting in oxidation potentials, and superior thermostability.
The synthesis of star-shaped ladder-type oligophenylenes Sn (n = 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16), where n is the number of π-conjugated phenylene rings, is reported. The two-dimensional conjugation interactions in Sn result in a lower bandgap for S16 than the currently known ladder-type poly(p-phenylene)s (LPPPs).
