Dicyclopentaannelated Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes with a Singlet Biradical Ground State

, p. 11300 - 11304 (2021)
Synthesis of two dicyclopentaannelated hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (PHBC) regioisomers was carried out, using nonplanar oligoaryl precursors with fluorenyl groups: mPHBC 8 with two pentagons in the “meta”-configuration was obtained as a stable molecule, while its structural isomer with the “para”-configuration, pPHBC 16, could be generated and characterized only in situ due to its high chemical reactivity. Both PHBCs exhibit low energy gaps, as reflected by UV-vis-NIR absorption and electrochemical measurements. They also show open-shell singlet ground states according to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The use of fully benzenoid HBC as a bridging moiety leads to significant singlet biradical characters (y0) of 0.72 and 0.96 for mPHBC 8 and pPHBC 16, respectively, due to the strong rearomatization tendency of the HBC π-system; these values are among the highest for planar carbon-centered biradical molecules. The incorporation of fully unsaturated pentagons strongly perturbs the aromaticity of the parent HBC and makes the constituted benzene rings less aromatic or antiaromatic. These results illustrate the high impact of cyclopentaannelation on the electronic structures of fully benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and open up a new avenue towards open-shell PAHs with prominent singlet biradical characters.

Nagarjuna, Gavvalapalli,Ren, Yi,Moore, Jeffrey S.
supporting information, p. 3155 - 3159 (2015/02/19)
Cyclization reaction pathways of aryl-substituted arenediynes depend on the interplay between the steric interactions and electronic properties of the aryl substituents. Herein, to further probe the impact of bulky and electron rich aryl substituents on t

A polymer comprises repeat units of formula (I): wherein: R1 independently in each occurrence is a substituent, and two substituents R1 may be linked to form a ring; R2 in each occurrence independently is H or a substituent, and two substituents R2 may be linked to form a ring; R3 independently in each occurrence is a substituent; Ar1 independently in each occurrence is an aryl or heteroaryl group that may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents; x is 0, 1 or 2; y is 0, 1 or 2; and z independently in each occurrence is 0, 1 or 2. Such repeat units have a relatively deep LUMO level that may reduce the barrier to transport of electrons from the electron-transporting layer to the light-emitting layer of an organic light emitting diode having an active layer comprising such a polymer.
