Chemistry 2024:e202402257. [PMID: 38955898 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202402257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Boron-doped helicenes, known for their unique electronic and photophysical properties, are of great interest for numerous applications. This research introduces two new azabora[6]helicenes, H[6]BN1 and H[6]BN2, synthesized through an efficient method. These molecules have boron and nitrogen atoms in opposing positions, enhancing their distinctive attributes. Both helicenes show excellent emission properties, with H[6]BN1 and H[6]BN2 exhibiting narrowband blue fluorescence and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), achieving glum values of 4~5×10-4 which is beneficial for chiroptical applications. The addition of a donor group, 3, 6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole, in H[6]BN2 improves luminescence, likely due to enhanced molecular orbital overlap and electron delocalization. H[6]BN1's needle-like single crystals exhibit mechanochromism, changing luminescent color from yellow to green under mechanical stress, which is promising for stimulus-responsive materials. In conclusion, this study presents a novel class of BN[6]helicenes with superior chiroptical properties. Their combination of electronic features and mechanochromism makes them ideal for advanced chiroptical materials, expanding the potential of helicene-based compounds and offering new directions for the synthesis of molecules with specific chiroptical characteristics.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of the bis(benzooxa)-2,6-anthraquinodimethane (BAQ) derivative and its bisindeno fused analogue BIBAQ. We found bisindeno fusion on the quinoidal zigzag edge of BAQ results in decreased diradical character and corresponding increased photostability. Furthermore, BAQ could only be oxidized into its cationic species, while BIBAQ showed balanced redox properties.

Abstract
Positively charged phosphorus-containing heterocycles are characteristic core skeletons for functional molecules. While various phosphonium-containing five- or six-membered-ring compounds have been reported, the seven-membered-ring phosphepinium have not been fully studied yet. In this study, dithieno[3,2-b; 2',3'-f]phosphepinium ions containing electron-donating aminophenyl groups were synthesized. An X-ray crystallographic analysis of the resulting donor-acceptor-donor dyes revealed a bent conformation of the central seven-membered ring. These compounds exhibit fluorescence in the near-infrared region with a bathochromic shift of ca. 70 nm compared to a phosphepine oxide congener and a large Stokes shift. High fluorescence quantum yields were obtained even in polar solvents due to the suppression of the nonradiative decay process. A theoretical study revealed that the phosphepinium skeleton is highly electron-accepting owing to the orbital interaction between a px orbital of the phosphonium moiety and a π* orbital of the 1,3,5-hexatriene moiety. Due to the lower-lying px orbital in the phosphonium moiety compared to that of the phosphine oxide and the bent conformation of the seven-membered ring, the phosphepinium ring permits effective px-π* conjugation. A large structural relaxation with a contribution of a quinoidal resonance structure is suggested in the excited state, which should be responsible for the bright emission with a large Stokes shift.

Abstract
We here disclose that the incorporation of thiophene rings into a seven-membered 8π azepine in a fused fashion produces a useful antiaromatic core for near-infrared (NIR) dyes. In contrast to dibenzazepine derivatives with bent structures, dithieno-fused derivatives with electron-accepting groups adopt flat conformations in the ground state. The dithieno-fused derivatives exhibited broad absorption spectra that cover the visible region as well as sharp emission bands in the NIR region, which are considerably red-shifted relative to those of the dibenzo-fused congeners. Theoretical study revealed two contradictory effects of the less-aromatic thiophene-fused structure, i.e., the enhancement of the antiaromaticity of the adjacent azepine ring and the relief of the antiaromaticity through the contribution of a quinoidal resonance form. The combination of the dithienoazepine core with cationic electron-accepting groups produced a NIR fluorescent dye with an emission at 878 nm in solution.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot strategy for the facile synthesis of double boron-oxygen-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (dBO-PAHs) with high regioselectivity and efficient skeletal editing is developed. The boron-oxygen-fused rings exhibit low aromaticity, endowing the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with high chemical and thermal stabilities. The incorporation of the boron-oxygen units enables the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to show single-component, low-temperature ultralong afterglow of up to 20 s. Moreover, the boron-oxygen-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can also serve as ideal n-type host materials for high-brightness and high-efficiency deep-blue OLEDs; compared to single host, devices using boron-oxygen-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-based co-hosts exhibit dramatically brightness and efficiency enhancements with significantly reduced efficiency roll-offs; device 9 demonstrates a high color-purity (Commission International de l'Eclairage CIEy = 0.104), and also achieves a record-high external quantum efficiency (28.0%) among Pt(II)-based deep-blue OLEDs with Commission International de l'Eclairage CIEy < 0.20; device 10 achieves a maximum brightnessof 27219 cd/m2 with a peak external quantum efficiency of 27.8%, which representes the record-high maximum brightness among Pt(II)-based deep-blue OLEDs. This work demonstrates the great potential of the double boron-oxygen-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as ultralong afterglow and n-type host materials in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
We describe a π-topological transformation-based synthetic method for the preparation of a new type of near-infrared (NIR)-emissive rhodamine dye called Polymethine-embedded Rhodamine Fluorophore (PeR Fluor). In contrast to conventional NIR-emissive dyes that require tedious synthetic steps and/or a high cost, linear fully π-conjugated PeR Fluor can be regioselectively prepared in one step by mixing different nucleophiles with ABPXs, a family of rhodamines with a cross-conjugated structure. PeR Fluor exhibits bright NIR fluorescence emission and high photostability owing to the cooperative π-electron system of rhodamines and polymethine scaffolds. Large bathochromic shifts of the absorption and fluorescence emission maxima can be achieved by modifying the N-substituted group to obtain NIR-absorbing/emitting PeR Fluor. We also demonstrate the stimulus-responsive functionality of PeR Fluor through the addition of chemicals (acid/base), which shows switchable NIR and visible fluorescence response. Our π-topological transformation-based synthetic method is a promising approach to produce new functionalized rhodamine dyes.

Abstract
Bromo-functionalized B1-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with LUMOs of less than -3.0 eV were synthesized and used in cross-couplings to form donor-acceptor materials. These materials spanned a range of S1 energies, with a number showing thermally activated delayed fluorescence and significant emission in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. These B1-PAHs represent a useful family of acceptors that can be readily synthesized and functionalized.

Abstract
Substituent modification effects of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) boranes on their hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) reactions and the chemical reactivities of corresponding NHC-boryl radicals have been investigated by density functional theory calculations. The substituent modification of NHC-boranes may notably affect the HAA reaction, both kinetically and thermodynamically, and shows remarkable substitution position dependence. The multi-site-modification of NHC-boranes is proved to be more effective for reduction of the B-H bond dissociation energy (BDE), promotion of the HAA reaction, and the reactivity regulation of their corresponding NHC-boryl radicals. Computational screening reveals that the spin density and the charge population of the radical boron center have good correlation with the B-H BDEs of NHC-boranes and the chemical reactivities of NHC-boryl radicals, and they can be considered as property and reactivity descriptors of these boron-based systems. The present results and established scaling relationships are beneficial to promote the advancement of design of NHC-boryl radical catalysis.

Abstract
Chitosan grafting coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (CS-g-CCA) fiber with fluorescent function and enhanced tensile strength was successfully prepared by in-situ wet-spinning. FTIR and NMR results demonstrate that CCA is successfully grafted onto the CS molecule chains. As the grafting rate increases from 4.2 to 15.8 %, the spinning solution viscosity increases from 22 to 54 Pa·s. SEM observations show that the CS and CS-g-CCA fiber surfaces and cross-sections exhibit homogeneity and smoothness. Likewise, as the drawing ratio increases from 1.0 to 1.4, 2D WAXS patterns illustrate the molecular chain oriented significantly along the drawing direction. The CS-g-CCA fiber (the grafting rate of 15.8 %) exhibits a maximum breaking strength of 1.06 cn/dtex, increasing by 20 % more than the CS fiber. Meanwhile, it has a peak fluorescence intensity of around 480 nm. In addition, the continuous preparation process simplifies the technological route and improves the preparation efficiency of CS-g-CCA fiber. As-prepared CS-g-CCA fiber with enhanced tensile strength and elevated fluorescence efficiency lays the foundation for potential application in fluorescent probes, anti-counterfeiting, and biomedicine fields.

Abstract
The syntheses, molecular structures, reactivities, and computational assessment of dipotassium diboratapentacene isomers are described (1 and 2). These compounds represent the first examples of aromatized diboraacenes where the boron atoms are spatially separated in different rings of the acene framework. Both 1 and 2 react with carbon dioxide (CO2) via diastereoselective carboxylation of the pentacene backbone that likely proceeds by a frustrated Lewis pair-like mechanism. The placement of the boron atoms and the reactivity studies provide a platform for later stage functionalization of diboraacenes beyond the central ring of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon core.

Abstract
Ultralong afterglow emissions due to room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are of paramount importance in the advancement of smart sensors, bioimaging and light-emitting devices. We herein present an efficient approach to achieve rarely accessible phosphorescence of heavy atom-free organoboranes via photochemical switching of sterically tunable fluorescent Lewis pairs (LPs). LPs are widely applied in and well-known for their outstanding performance in catalysis and supramolecular soft materials but have not thus far been exploited to develop photo-responsive RTP materials. The intramolecular LP M1BNM not only shows a dynamic response to thermal treatment due to reversible N→B coordination but crystals of M1BNM also undergo rapid photochromic switching. As a result, unusual emission switching from short-lived fluorescence to long-lived phosphorescence (rad-M1BNM, τRTP =232 ms) is observed. The reported discoveries in the field of Lewis pairs chemistry offer important insights into their structural dynamics, while also pointing to new opportunities for photoactive materials with implications for fast responsive detectors.

Abstract
A modular synthesis of both difurooxa- and difuroazadiborepins from a common precursor is demonstrated. Starting from 2,2'-bifuran, after protection of the positions 5 and 5' with bulky silyl groups, formation of the novel polycycles proceeds through opening of the furan rings to a dialkyne and subsequent re-cyclization in the borylation step. The resulting bifuran-fused diborepins show pronounced stability, highly planar tricyclic structures, and intense blue light emission. Deprotection and transformation into dibrominated building blocks that can be incorporated into π-extended materials can be performed in one step. Detailed DFT calculations provide information about the aromaticity of the constituent rings of this polycycle.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of laterally extended azabora[5]-, -[6]- and -[7]helicenes, assembled from N-heteroaromatic and dibenzo[g,p]chrysene building blocks is described. Formally, the π-conjugated systems of the pristine azaborole helicenes were enlarged with a phenanthrene unit leading to compounds with large Stokes shifts, significantly enhanced luminescence quantum yields (Φ) and dissymmetry factors (glum ). The beneficial effect on optical properties was also observed for helical elongation. The combined contributions of lateral and helical extensions resulted in a compound showing green emission with Φ of 0.31 and |glum | of 2.2×10-3 , highest within the series of π-extended azaborahelicenes and superior to emission intensity and chiroptical response of its non-extended congener. This study shows that helical and lateral extensions of π-conjugated systems are viable strategies to improve features of azaborole helicenes. In addition, single crystal X-ray analysis of configurationally stable [6]- and -[7]helicenes was used to provide insight into their packing arrangements.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores absorbing maximally in the region beyond 800 nm, i.e., deep-NIR spectral region, are actively sought for biomedical applications. Ideal dyes are bright, nontoxic, photostable, biocompatible, and easily derivatized to introduce functionalities (e.g., for bioconjugation or aqueous solubility). The rational design of such fluorophores remains a major challenge. Silicon-substituted rhodamines have been successful for bioimaging applications in the red spectral region. The longer-wavelength silicon-substituted congeners for the deep-NIR spectral region are unknown to date. We successfully prepared four silicon-substituted bis-benzannulated rhodamine dyes (ESi5a-ESi5d), with an efficient five-step cascade on a gram-scale. Because of the extensive overlapping of their HOMO-LUMO orbitals, ESi5a-ESi5d are highly absorbing (λabs ≈ 865 nm and ε > 105 cm-1 M-1). By restraining both the rotational freedom via annulation and the vibrational freedom via silicon-imparted strain, the fluorochromic scaffold of ESi5 is highly rigid, resulting in an unusually long fluorescence lifetime (τ > 700 ps in CH2Cl2) and a high fluorescence quantum yield (ϕ = 0.14 in CH2Cl2). Their half-lives toward photobleaching are 2 orders of magnitude longer than the current standard (ICG in serum). They are stable in the presence of biorelevant concentration of nucleophiles or reactive oxygen species. They are minimally toxic and readily metabolized. Upon tail vein injection of ESi5a (as an example), the vasculature of a nude mouse was imaged with a high signal-to-background ratio. ESi5 dyes have broad potentials for bioimaging in the deep-NIR spectral region.

Abstract
A new family of dimeric B/N Lewis pairs with sterically tunable substitutions has been accomplished using the Two-in-One design strategy. Their structures are characteristic of doubly B/N-containing cores, and the electronic interactions between B and N centers can be modulated by the steric effects of ortho-substitutions from methyl groups. Interestingly, unique white-light emissions were achieved for 2M'2BNM and 1M2BNM, ascribed to the integration of two triarylborane species (Bsp2- and Bsp3-hybridization) into one single molecule.

Abstract
Boron-embedded heteroacenes (boraacenes) have attracted enormous interest in organic chemistry and materials science. However, extending the skeleton of boraacenes to higher acenes (N≥6) is synthetically challenging because of their limited stability under ambient conditions. Herein, we report the synthesis of boron-embedded heptacene (DBH) and nonacene (DBN) as the hitherto longest boraacenes. The former is highly stable (even after 240 h in tetrahydrofuran), while the latter is air-sensitive with the half-life (t1/2 ) of 11.8 min. The structures of both compounds are verified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a linear backbone with an antiaromatic C4 B2 core. Photophysical characterizations associated with theoretical calculations indicate that both compounds exhibit highly efficient anti-Kasha emissions. Remarkably, the air-stable DBH manifests an ultrahigh photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 98±2 % and can be chemically reduced to its radical anion and dianion states, implying the value of boron-doped higher acenes as novel functional materials.

Abstract
The C-H acyloxylation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is described. This reaction constructs aryl acyloxylate scaffolds from PAHs with equimolar hypervalent iodine compounds under mild reaction conditions. Interestingly, the blue light irradiation accelerated this transformation. Additionally, the synthesis of structurally new symmetric and unsymmetric diaroyloxylated fluoranthenes was accomplished with a ruthenium photoredox catalyst.

Abstract
The functionalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) via B←N Lewis pair formation offers an opportunity to judiciously fine-tune the structural features and optoelectronic properties, to suit the demands of applications in organic electronic devices, bioimaging, and as sensitizers for singlet oxygen generation. We demonstrate that the N-directed electrophilic borylation of 2,6-di(pyrid-2-yl)anthracene offers access to linearly extended acene derivatives Py-BR (R=Et, Ph, C6 F5 ). In comparison to indeno-fused 9,10-diphenylanthracene, the formal "BN for CC" replacement in Py-BR selectively lowers the LUMO, resulting in a much reduced HOMO-LUMO gap. An even more extended conjugated system with seven six-membered rings in a row (Qu-BEt) is obtained by borylation of 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)anthracene. Fluorinated Py-BPf shows particularly advantageous properties, including relatively lower-lying HOMO and LUMO levels, strong yellow-green fluorescence, and effective singlet oxygen sensitization, while resisting self-sensitized conversion to its endoperoxide.

Abstract
Organic diradicaloids have unique open-shell structures and properties and promising applications in organic electronics and spintronics. Incorporation of heteroatoms is an effective strategy to alter the electronic structures of organic diradicaloids. However, B-containing organic diradicaloids are very challenging due to their high reactivities, which are caused by not only diradical nature but also the B atom. In this article, we report a new kind of organic diradicaloids containing boron atoms. Our strategy is to incorporate planarized triarylboranes to antiaromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs). We synthesized two isomeric B-containing PHs composed of indenofluorene π-skeletons and two dioxa-bridged triphenylborane moieties. As proved by theoretical and experimental results, both of them have excellent ambient stability and open-shell singlet diradical structures, as well as intriguing magnetic and optoelectronic properties, such as thermally accessible triplet species, reversible multiredox ability, and narrow energy gaps. Notably, they possess sufficient Lewis acidity, which has never been observed for organic diradicaloids. In addition, they can coordinate with Lewis bases to form Lewis adducts, achieving unprecedented dynamic modulations of (anti)aromaticity and thus diradical character of organic diradicaloids.

Abstract
The success of the rational bottom-up approach to nanostructured carbon materials and the discovery of the importance of their doping with heteroatoms puts under the spotlight all synthetic organic approaches to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The construction of atomically precise heteroatom doped nanographenes has evidenced the importance of controlling its geometry and the position of the doping heteroatoms, since these parameters influence their chemical-physical properties and their applications. The growing interest towards this research topic is testified by the large number of works published in this area, which have transformed a once "fundamental research" into applied research at the cutting edge of technology. This review analyzes the most recent synthetic approaches to this class of compounds.
