Azides and acetylenes are bio-orthogonal functional groups that can be readily coupled using copper(I)- or ruthenium(II)- catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Using non-fluorescent aromatic azides and aromatic acetylenes, covering a range of electron rich and poor building blocks, the Huisgen cycloaddition afford 1,4-disubstituted or 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Using a combinatorial approach by running reaction in parallel in polypropylene 96-well plates we discovered several new fluorescent 1,2,3-triazoles scaffolds. These compounds show diverse interactions with biomolecules that could find applications in biology in, for example, fluorescence microscopy or biomolecule quantification.

The plaques of accumulated β-amyloid (Aβ) in the parenchymal brain are accepted as an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many near-infrared (NIR) probes, which were based on the D-π-A structure and bridged by conjugat

The photochromic norbornadiene/quadricyclane (NBD/QC) couple has found interest as a molecular solar thermal energy (MOST) system for storage of solar energy. To increase the energy difference between the two isomers, we present here the synthesis of a selection of benzo-fused NBD derivatives that contain an aromatic unit, benzene, naphthalene or phenanthrene, fused to one of the NBD double bonds, while the carbon atoms of the other double bond are functionalized with donor and acceptor groups. The synthesis protocols involve functionalization of benzo-fused NBDs with bromo/chloro substituents followed by a subjection of these intermediates to a cyanation reaction (introducing a cyano acceptor group) followed by a Sonogashira coupling (introducing an arylethynyl donor group, -C≡CC6H4NMe2 or -C≡CC6H4OMe). While the derivatives have good absorption properties in the visible region (redshifted relative to parent system) in the context of MOST applications, they lack the ability to undergo NBD-to-QC photoisomerization, even in the presence of a photosensitizer. It seems that loss of aromaticity of the fused aromatics is too significant to allow photoisomerization to occur. The concept of destroying aromaticity of a neighboring moiety as a way to enhance the energy density of the NBD/QC couple thus needs further structural modifications, in the quest for optimum MOST systems.
