Paired electrosynthesis at the femtoliter scale: Formation of 9,10-anthracenedione from the oxidation of anthracene and reduction of dioxygen

A system is described in which the unique properties of a pair of microband electrodes are exploited both to initiate and to probe the products of a paired electrosynthesis using short-lived species. In particular, the oxidation of anthracene is coupled with the simultaneous reduction of dioxygen in acetonitrile to yield the anthracene radical cation and the superoxide anion. These latter react within a femtoliter scale volume to form initially 9,10-dihydro-9,10-epidioxyanthracene, which rearranges into 9,10-anthracenedione and, presumably, dihydrogen via an electron transfer catalyzed process.
Photochemistry of anthracene in water
Sigman,Zingg,Pagni,Burns
, p. 5737 - 5740 (1991)
Photolysis of anthracene (350 nm) in aerated water yields endoperoxide and 9,10-anthraquinone as the major primary photoproducts. Photolysis of anthracene in oxygen-deficient aqueous solutions yields the three isomers of 10,10'-dihydroxy-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-9,9'-bianthryl as the primary photoproduct. Involvement of a cation radical mechanism is suggested.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Synthesis, photophysical properties, and photostability of 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes with fluorine-containing groups (FCG) are described. The values of Φf and λem greatly go up by the meso-substitution with FCG, and a nice corelationship between Φf and Aπ (magnitude of π conjugation length in the excited single state) is observed. The C6F5 group at the meso positions exhibits an excellent ability in the photostability as well as in the emission efficiency.
