Iterative synthesis of acenes via homo-elongation.

چکیده
Starting from aromatic ortho-dialdehydes, we devised a homo-elongation protocol that combines a Wittig olefination and subsequent intramolecular Knoevenagel condensation to produce acene diesters and dinitriles.

Synthesis of pentacene-, tetracene- and anthracene bisimides using double-cyclization reaction mediated by bismuth(III) triflate.
Novel bisimide-fused acenes were synthesized via bismuth triflate mediated double-cyclization reaction of acid chlorides and isocyanates. Their optical and electrical properties revealed significantly smaller HOMO-LUMO gaps compared with those of their parent acenes. Fabricated OFET based on tetracene bisimide showed n-type OFET outputs.
متن کاملChlorination: a general route toward electron transport in organic semiconductors.
We show that adding chlorine atoms to conjugated cores is a general, effective route toward the design of n-type air-stable organic semiconductors. We find this to be true for acenes, phthalocyanines, and perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI)-based molecules. This general finding opens new avenues in the design and synthesis of organic semiconductors. We compared a series of fluoro- and chloro...
متن کاملStructural fluctuation governed dynamic diradical character in pentacene.
We unravel intriguing dynamical diradical behavior governed by structural fluctuation in pentacene using ab initio molecular dynamics simulation. In contrast to static equilibrium configuration of pentacene with a closed-shell ground state without diradical character, due to structural fluctuation, some of its dynamical snapshot configurations exhibit an open-shell broken-symmetry singlet groun...
متن کاملStrategies for the Synthesis of Higher Acenes
The outstanding performance of pentacene-based molecules in molecular electronics, as well as the predicted enhanced semiconducting properties of extended acenes, have stimulated the development of new synthetic methods and functionalization strategies for the preparation of stable and soluble acenes larger than tetracene with the aim of obtaining improved functional materials.
متن کاملIndeno[1,2-b]fluorenes: fully conjugated antiaromatic analogues of acenes.
Acenes such as pentacene have been widely studied over the last decade because of their highly promising potential as organic semiconductors, and have found use in devices such as photovoltaics and field-effect transistors. Nonetheless, the locked s-cis diene units within acenes are an Achilles' heal, in that many acenes readily dimerize and react with oxygen. As a possible alternative, we have...
