Azaacene diradicals based on non-kekulé meta-quinodimethane with large two-photon cross-sections in the infrared spectral region

Non-Kekulé quinoidal azaacences m-A (1 a,b) were synthesized and compared to their para- and ortho-quinodimethane analogues. m-A display high diradical characters (1 b: y0 = 0.88) due to their meta-quinodimethane (m-QDM) topology. Electron paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and...

Description
Summary:Non-Kekulé quinoidal azaacences m-A (1 a,b) were synthesized and compared to their para- and ortho-quinodimethane analogues. m-A display high diradical characters (1 b: y0 = 0.88) due to their meta-quinodimethane (m-QDM) topology. Electron paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and supraquantum interference device measurements in combination with quantum-chemical calculations revealed singlet ground states for m-A with singlet-triplet gaps ΔEST (0.13-0.25 kcal mol−1) and thermally populated triplet states. These non-Kekulé structures are over all void of zwitterionic character and possess record high two-photon absorption cross sections over a broad spectral range in the near-infrared.
