The dimer of 9-anthraldehyde, namely heptacyclo[8.6.6.62,9.03,8.011,16.017,22.023,28]octacosa-3,5,7,11,13,15,17(22),18,20,23(28),24,26-dodecaene-1,9-carbaldehyde, C30H20O2, has been synthesized by refluxing an ethanol solution in the presence of M(ClO4)2 and 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol (M = Co2+ or Cu2+). Its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing it to be a new polymorph, referred to as polymorph II, in the monoclinic space group P21/n. It is compared with the previously reported triclinic modification [Ehrenberg (1968). Acta Cryst. B24, 1123–1125], which is referred to as polymorph I. The asymmetric unit of polymorph II contains two half molecules located on crystallographic centres, while the asymmetric unit of polymorph I includes one half molecule, also located on a crystallographic centre. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) at the RB3LYP level using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set was applied. The predicted electronic absorption spectrum is in good agreement with the experimental one. The analysis of the calculated electronic absorption spectrum of polymorph II was carried out in order to assign the observed electronic transitions and to determine their character. A natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis was executed at the same level to evaluate charge-transfer, intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and hyperconjugative interactions. The third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the compound were appraised by the ZINDO/sum-over-states method in both static and dynamic states. The orientationally averaged (isotropic) value of γ for the compound is greater than the corresponding value of 4-nitroaniline (pNA).

Novel fluorescent crack sensors have been developed based on dimeric anthracene moiety-containing polymers. Two anthracene derivatives, 9-anthraldehyde (AA) and 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC), were photodimerized to obtain cyclooctane-type dimers. Crack-sensing polymers (Poly-AA and Poly-AC) were prepared by crosslinking of poly(vinyl alcohol) by using the dimers as crosslinkers. The polymers afforded transparent, hard coatings. Upon cracking, the polymers exhibited strong optical absorption and fluorescence emission while the uncracked original polymers did not. This was explained by regeneration of the anthracene moiety by mechanochemical cycloreversion of the cyclooctane dimer structure. It was found that the crack planes emitted fluorescence having emission maxima in the range of 500-600 nm when excited with 330-385 nm UV light. Absolute fluorescence quantum yield measurements indicated that the polymers could have good capability of fluorescence crack sensing. Preliminary evaluation of the crack-sensing ability of Poly-AA and Poly-AC was performed with the polymer films, and fluorescence emission was clearly observed along the crack planes upon excitation with 330-385 nm UV light. Poly-AA and Poly-AC are promising as fluorescent crack sensors because the anthracene moiety regenerated upon cracking has relatively long excitation and emission wavelengths as well as strong fluorescence.

The well-designed metal-organic cage Ce-BHP, with a size-suitable cavity, functional interaction sites and a flexible backbone, could encapsulate 9-anthraldehyde molecules and act as a nanoreactor via supramolecular behavior, avoiding the undesired oxidation forming 9,10-anthraquinone, and also as an efficient catalyst to successfully achieve high conversion of single photodimers under air conditions.
