Dimerization of a reactive azaacene diradical: synthesis of a covalent azaacene cage

Two series of regioisomeric dicyanomethylene substituted dithienodiazatetracenes with formal para- or ortho-quinodimethane subunits were synthesized and characterized. Whereas the para-isomers (p-n, diradical index y0=0.01) are stable and isolable, the ortho-isomer (y0=0.98) dimerizes into a covalen...

Zusammenfassung:Two series of regioisomeric dicyanomethylene substituted dithienodiazatetracenes with formal para- or ortho-quinodimethane subunits were synthesized and characterized. Whereas the para-isomers (p-n, diradical index y0=0.01) are stable and isolable, the ortho-isomer (y0=0.98) dimerizes into a covalent azaacene cage. Four elongated σ-CC bonds are formed and the former triisopropylsilyl(TIPS) -ethynylene groups transformed into cumulene units. The azaacene cage dimer (o-1)2 was characterized by X-ray single crystal structure analysis and temperature-dependent infrared (IR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR, solid-state), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopies (solution) indicating reformation of o-1.
