Oxidative reactions of a chiral molecular segment of carbon nanotubes afforded a chiral macrocycle with multiple stereogenic units. The cylinder chirality originally described by a single descriptor of P/M stereoisomerism was transformed into complex chirality, which requires multiple descriptors to specify the absolute configurations. Consequently, the single helical chirality of the nanotube propagated to 12 sets of R<inf>p</inf>planar chirality, 6 sets of S<inf>a</inf>axial chirality, and 3 sets of E axial geometry.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry

Cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyl (CBBC) represents a readily available chiral figure-eight macrocycle containing two carbonyl groups. However, the transformation of the carbonyl groups has been unexplored. Herein, we conducted the Wittig reaction of CBBC with methylenetriphenylphosphorane to furnish two chiral macrocycles containing one or two exocyclic olefin units. Owing to the transformation of carbonyl groups, the resulting products exhibit several unique physical and chemical properties: (1) the enhancement of configurational stability, (2) the appearance of fluorescence, and (3) the reductive carbon–carbon-bond formation between carbonyl and alkene units.

Ni(II) N,N′‐dimethyl‐5,15‐diazaporhyrins are efficiently prepared through reductive dimethylation of 5,15‐diazaporphyrin Ni(II) complexes with sodium dispersion in the presence of dimethyl sulfate. The obtained reduced diazaporphyrins exhibit highly upfield‐shifted 1H NMR spectra and narrowed HOMO–LUMO gaps originating from their distinct antiaromatic nature. The electrochemical analysis reveals their highly electron‐donating property, which leads to the formation of a charge transfer (CT) complex with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as an electron acceptor. The CT complex of Ni(II) N,N′‐dimethyl‐10,20‐diphenyl‐5,15‐diazaporphyrin with TCNQ exhibits alternate π‐stacking orientation in the solid state. N,N′‐Dimethyl‐5,15‐diazaporphyrins also interact with C60 in the solid state to yield cocrystals.

Carbon and hydrogen are fundamental components of organic molecules. Various functional π - systems have been created via the structural modification of conventional π -conjugated hydrocarbons. Novel π -conjugated hydrocarbon skeletons with attractive electronic structures are a source of novel functional materials. Notably, π -conjugated hydrocarbons with a narrow HOMO-LUMO gap are attractive research targets. Hydrocarbons with antiaromaticity or diradical character often exhibit narrow HOMO-LUMO gaps. However, these molecules are inherently reactive, thus requiring kinetic stabilization by sterically hindered peripheral substituents. This article describes the synthesis and properties of as-indaceno[3,2,1,8,7,6-ghijklm]terrylene, indeno[1,2,3,4-pqra]perylene, and its π - extended derivatives. These π -conjugated hydrocarbons are sufficiently stable under ambient conditions despite their narrow HOMO-LUMO gaps.

Mimicking the interconvertible carbon allotropes of 2-dimensional (2D) graphene and 1-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), herein we report the in situ transformation of 2D π-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) sheet into 1D nanotubular structures via self-assembly the sheets at solvent interfaces. The facile “roll-sheets” self-assembly resulted in coaxial nanotubes with uniform cross-sectional diameter, which was realized for diazapyrene-based COFs but not for the corresponding pyrene COF, although both possess similar chemical structures. Upon replacing the carbon atoms at 2,7-positions of pyrene with nitrogen, contrasting optical and electronic properties were realized, reflecting the rolled structure of the conjugated 2D sheets. The nanotubes exhibited concerted electronic- and proton-conducting nature with stable conducting pathways at ambient conditions. The nitrogen centers act simultaneously as the site for charge carrier doping and proton acceptors, as evidenced by the high photo- and electrical conductivity, as well as the record proton conductivity (σ = 1.98 S cm −1 ) results. The present diazapyrene-based 1D nanotubular COF serves as a unique materials platform with electronic conduction in the wall and proton conduction in the core, respectively.

Synthesis and Properties of Donor-Acceptor-Type Cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyls Reviewed International journal

The scalable synthesis of figure-eight π-systems is challenging for the conventional bottom-up approach. We have recently reported that the oxidative inner-bond cleavage of commercially available dibenzo[g,p]chrysene efficiently furnishes a figure-eight π-acceptor, cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyl (CBBC), in large quantity. Furthermore, its donor–acceptor-type derivative with four N-carbazolyl substituents at the meta-positions of the carbonyl groups exhibited thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a high |gCPL| value of 1.0×10−2. Herein, we synthesized nine donor–acceptor-type CBBC derivatives by changing the donor substituents and their positions. Compared to previously reported carbazole-substituted CBBC, tetramethylcarbazole- and 9,10-dihydro-9,9-dimethylacridine-substituted derivatives exhibited enhanced emission quantum yields and accelerated reverse intersystem crossing. The functionalization of the para-positions of the carbonyl groups resulted in better tunability of emission colors rather than meta-functionalization, whose color variation ranges from light blue to red. The incorporation of bulky substituents at the meta-positions of the carbonyl groups induced the conformational change to a distorted ring structure. Investigation of the substituent effect on the chiroptical properties revealed that the introduction of less bulky donor units such as carbazole at the meta-positions of the carbonyl groups is effective in achieving high |gCPL| values.

Bowl-Shaped Anthracene-Fused Antiaromatic Ni(II) Norcorrole: Synthesis, Structure, Assembly with C60, and Photothermal Conversion Reviewed International journal

<jats:p>The synthesis of bowl‐shaped antiaromatic molecules represents a formidable challenge, because the molecular distortion further destabilizes these already inherently reactive molecules. Here, we report the synthesis and properties of bowl‐shaped fused anthrylnorcorroles that exhibit near‐infrared (NIR) absorption reaching 1900 nm. The oxidation of meso‐anthryldibromodipyrrin provides fused anthryldibromodipyrrin, which was converted to the fused mono‐ and bisanthrylnorcorroles through Ni(0)‐mediated intramolecular coupling with a bis(dibromodipyrrin) Ni(II) complex. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses revealed bowl‐shaped structures for the fused mono‐ and bisanthrylnorcorroles, which enables them to act as suitable receptors for C60 with bonding constants of 2.89 × 103 M–1 and 1.59 × 103 M–1, respectively. The formation of a 1:1 complex between the fused monoanthrylnorcorrole and C60 was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The effective expansion of the π‐conjugation through the triple fusion of the norcorrole with the anthracene units substantially enhances the near‐infrared absorption bands, which endows these anthrylnorcorroles with effective photothermal conversion.</jats:p>
