Synthesis and properties of new 9,10-anthraquinone derived compounds for molecular electronics

Fourteen new derivatives of 9,10-anthraquinone or 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene were designed, synthesised and characterised. Regarding the structure, the compounds are π-conjugated (cross and linear, respectively) and feature thiophene terminated side arms attached to five different positions of the anthraquinone or anthracene core. The synthesis of the compounds involves a cross-coupling procedure in the key reaction steps. Crystal structures of compounds 5 and 19 have been studied. The thiophene containing title compounds 1-5 can be reduced and oxidised by a two step redox process. The electrochemical parameters have been analysed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Theoretical calculations in the framework of all-electron density functional theory (DFT) were used to investigate the electronic structure of the individual free molecules. Furthermore, calculations of the transport properties of model devices containing compounds 1-3 and respective reduced hydroquinone derivatives assembled at Au(111) electrodes were carried out to evaluate their potential for the application as redox-active switches.

9,10-Disubstituted-2-anthracenyl tert-Butyl Nitroxides. ESR Spectroscopic Indicators for Singlet Oxygen

Our purpose is to develop a nitroxide-based ESR probe for singlet oxygen.Among the new anthracenyl nitroxides 1-4 prepared, nitroxide 1 is the most useful. 1 reacts with singlet oxygen to give endoperoxide 18 quantitatively in organic solvents as well as when 1 is incorporated in the bilayers of DMPC vesicles.The reaction is sufficiently rapid an the resulting changes in the ESR spectra are sufficiently characteristic so that the conversion of 1 into 18 may serve as an ESR-based probe for singlet oxygen.
