UV photo-degradation of the secondary lichen substance parietin: A multi-spectroscopic analysis in astrobiology perspective. LIFE SCIENCES IN SPACE RESEARCH 2024; 41:191-201.

Abstract
The cortical anthraquinone yellow-orange pigment parietin is a secondary lichen substance providing UV-shielding properties that is produced by several lichen species. In our work, the secondary metabolite has been extracted from air-dried thalli of Xanthoria parietina. The aims of this study were to characterize parietin absorbance through UV-VIS spectrophotometry and with IR spectroscopy and to evaluate its photodegradability under UV radiation through in situ reflectance IR spectroscopy to understand to what extent the substance may have a photoprotective role. This allows us to relate parietin photo-degradability to the lichen UV tolerance in its natural terrestrial habitat and in extreme environments relevant for astrobiology such as Mars. Extracted crystals were UV irradiated for 5.59 h under N2 flux. After the UV irradiation, we assessed relevant degradations in the 1614, 1227, 1202, 1160 and 755 cm-1 bands. However, in light of Xanthoria parietina survivability in extreme conditions such as space- and Mars-simulated ones, we highlight parietin UV photo-resistance and its relevance for astrobiology as photo-protective substance and possible bio-hint.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of enzymes excel in the realm of enzyme engineering due to its directness, robustness, and efficiency; however, challenges persist in devising versatile and effective strategies. In this study, we introduce a supramolecular modification methodology that amalgamates a supramolecular polymer with Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) to create supramolecular enzymes (SupEnzyme). This approach features the straightforward preparation of a supramolecular amphiphilic polymer (β-CD@SMA), which was subsequently conjugated to the enzyme, resulting in a SupEnzyme capable of self-assembly into supramolecular nanoparticles. The resulting SupEnzyme nanoparticles can form micron-scale supramolecular aggregates through supramolecular and electrostatic interactions with guest entities, thus enhancing catalyst recycling. Remarkably, these aggregates maintain 80 % activity after seven cycles, outperforming Novozym 435. Additionally, they can effectively initiate photobiocatalytic cascade reactions using guest photocatalysts. As a consequence, our SupEnzyme methodology exhibits noteworthy adaptability in enzyme modification, presenting a versatile platform for various polymer, enzyme, and biocompatible catalyst pairings, with potential applications in the fields of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
The multiphase oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to form sulfate is a complex and important process in the atmosphere. While the conventional photosensitized reaction mainly explored in the bulk medium is reported to be one of the drivers to trigger atmospheric sulfate production, how this scheme functionalizes at the air-water interface (AWI) of aerosol remains an open question. Herein, employing an advanced size-controllable microdroplet-printing device, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis, nanosecond transient adsorption spectrometer, and molecular level theoretical calculations, we revealed the previously overlooked interfacial role in photosensitized oxidation of SO2 in humic-like substance (HULIS) aerosol, where a 3-4 orders of magnitude increase in sulfate formation rate was speculated in cloud and aerosol relevant-sized particles relative to the conventional bulk-phase medium. The rapid formation of a battery of reactive oxygen species (ROS) comes from the accelerated electron transfer process at the AWI, where the excited triplet state of HULIS (3HULIS*) of the incomplete solvent cage can readily capture electrons from HSO3- in a way that is more efficient than that in the bulk medium fully blocked by water molecules. This phenomenon could be explained by the significantly reduced desolvation energy barrier required for reagents residing in the AWI region with an open solvent shell.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesis and characterization of a heterogeneous photocatalyst based on spherical silica nanoparticles superficially modified with anthraquinone 2-carboxylic acid (AQ-COOH) are presented. The nanomaterial was characterized by TEM, SEM, FT-IR, diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, NMR, DLS, XRD and XPS. These analyses confirm the covalent linking of AQ-COOH with the NH2 functionality in the nanomaterial and, more importantly, the photocatalyst retains its photophysical properties once bound. The heterogeneous photocatalyst was successfully employed in the aerobic hydroxylation of arylboronic acids to phenols under sustainable reaction conditions. Phenols were obtained in high yields (up to 100 %) with low catalyst loading (3.5 mol %), reaching TOF values of 3.7 h-1 . Using 2-propanol as solvent at room temperature, the visible light photocatalysis produced H2 O2 as a key intermediate to promote the aerobic hydroxylation of arylboronic acids. The heterogeneous photocatalyst was reused at least 5 times, without modification of the nanomaterial structure and morphology. This simple heterogeneous system showed great catalytic activity under sustainable reaction conditions.

Abstract
The formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in anthraquinones makes them inert to photoinduced reactions; therefore, it is a great challenge to phototransform these compounds. Herein, we reported a formal visible-light-induced [4 + 2] cycloaddition of both 1-hydroxyanthraquinones and 1-aminoanthraquinones with olefins under external photocatalyst-free conditions with high regioselectivity. More than 60 substrates are disclosed, demonstrating the reliability of this protocol to construct diverse functionalized anthraquinone derivatives.

Abstract
Photoredox catalysis (PRC) is a cutting-edge frontier for single electron-transfer (SET) reactions, enabling the generation of reactive intermediates for both oxidative and reductive processes via photon activation of a catalyst. Although this represents a significant step towards chemoselective and, more generally, sustainable chemistry, its efficacy is limited by the energy of visible light photons. Nowadays, excellent alternative conditions are available to overcome these limitations, harvesting two different but correlated concepts: the use of multi-photon processes such as consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (conPET) and the combination of photo- and electrochemistry in synthetic photoelectrochemistry (PEC). Herein, we review the most recent contributions to these fields in both oxidative and reductive activations of organic functional groups. New opportunities for organic chemists are captured, such as selective reactions employing super-oxidants and super-reductants to engage unactivated chemical feedstocks, and scalability up to gram scales in continuous flow. This review provides comparisons between the two techniques (multi-photon photoredox catalysis and PEC) to help the reader to fully understand their similarities, differences and potential applications and to therefore choose which method is the most appropriate for a given reaction, scale and purpose of a project.

Abstract
Unraveling the causes underlying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phototoxicity is an essential step in understanding the harmful effects of these compounds in nature. Toward this end, we have studied the DNA interactions and photochemistry of N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride in the presence and absence of NaF, KF, NaCl, KCl, NaBr, KBr, NaI, and KI (350 nm hν, pH 7.0). Exposing pUC19 plasmid to UV light in solutions containing 400 mM KCl formed significantly more direct strand breaks in DNA compared to no-salt control reactions. In contrast, NaCl increased DNA damage moderately, while the sodium(I) and potassium(I) fluoride, bromide, and iodide salts generally inhibited cleavage (I- > Br- > F-). A halide anion-induced heavy-atom effect was indicated by monitoring anthracene photodegradation and by employing the hydroxyl radical (•OH) probe hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF). These studies revealed that among no-salt controls and the eight halide salts, only NaCl and KCl enabled the anthracene to photosensitize the production of high levels of DNA-damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pre-irradiation of N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride at 350 nm increased the amounts of chloride salt-induced •OH detected by HPF in subsequent anthracene photoactivation experiments. Taking into consideration that •OH and other highly reactive ROS are extremely short-lived, this result suggests that the pre-irradiation step might lead to the formation of oxidized anthracene photoproducts that are exceedingly redox-active. The fluorometric probes HPF and Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green revealed that KCl concentrations ranging from 150 to 400 mM and from 100 to 400 mM, respectively, enhanced N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride photosensitized •OH and singlet oxygen (1O2) production over no-salt controls. Considering the relatively high levels of Na+, K+, and Cl- ions that exist in the environment and in living organisms, our findings may be relevant to the phototoxic effects exhibited by anthracenes and other polycyclic hydrocarbons in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful and green oxidant that allows for the oxidation of a wide span of organic and inorganic substrates in liquid media under mild reaction conditions, and forms only molecular water and oxygen as end products. Hydrogen peroxide is therefore used in a wide range of applications, for which the well-documented and established anthraquinone autoxidation process is by far the dominating production method at the industrial scale. As this method is highly energy consuming and environmentally costly, the search for more sustainable synthesis methods is of high interest. To this end, the article reviews the basis and the recent development of the photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide. Different oxygen reduction and water oxidation mechanisms are discussed, as well as several kinetic models, and the influence of the main key reaction parameters is itemized. A large range of photocatalytic materials is reviewed, with emphasis on titania-based photocatalysts and on high-prospect graphitic carbon nitride-based systems that take advantage of advanced bulk and surface synthetic approaches. Strategies for enhancing the performances of solar-driven photocatalysts are reported, and the search for new, alternative, photocatalytic materials is detailed. Finally, the promise of in situ photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide for water treatment and organic synthesis is described, as well as its coupling with enzymes and the direct in situ synthesis of other technical peroxides.

Abstract
The exploration of emerging photocatalysts like covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is an essential but challenging endeavor to find sustainable solutions for selective organic transformations. Anthraquinones are envisaged to construct COFs for visible light photocatalysis because their derivatives are employed industrially as oxidation catalysts or organic dyes. Herein, an anthraquinone COF, TpAQ-COF, is successfully constructed with 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone (AQ). Then, the selective oxidation of amines over TpAQ-COF is implemented. Amines can be effectively converted into corresponding imines over TpAQ-COF powered with green light and oxygen, during which superoxide radical anion is discerned as the pivotal reactive oxygen species. This work suggests that COFs could inherit the advantages of molecular building blocks for selective reactions powered with broad visible light.

Abstract
Quinones are widespread in nature, as they participate, mainly as redox mediators, in several biochemical processes. Up to now, various synthetic quinones have been recommended in the literature as leading molecules in energy, biomedical and catalytic fields. In this brief review, we retraced our research activity in the last ten years, mainly dedicated to the study of a new class of peculiar pentacyclic conjugated quinoid compounds, synthesized in our group. In particular, their application as sensitive materials in photoelectrochemical devices and in biosensors, as photocatalysts in selective oxidation reactions, and their anticancer activity is here reviewed.

Renzi P, Azzi E, Ascensio S, Parisotto S, Sordello F, Pellegrino F, Ghigo G, Deagostino A. Inexpensive and bench stable diarylmethylium tetrafluoroborates as organocatalysts in the light mediated hydrosulfonylation of unactivated alkenes. Chem Sci 2023; 14:2721-2734. [PMID: 36908942 PMCID: PMC9993860 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc00182b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we present the synthetic potential of diarylmethylium tetrafluoroborates as catalysts for the visible light promoted hydrosulfonylation of unactivated alkenes. For the first time, these salts, which are bench stable and easily preparable on a multi-gram scale, were employed as organocatalysts. Interestingly, a catalyst loading of only 1 mol% allowed sulfone products to be efficiently obtained from good-to-excellent yields with high functional-group tolerance and scalability up to 15 mmol of alkene. The mechanistic study, both experimental and computational, presented here, revealed an alternative mechanism for the formation of the key sulfonyl radical. Indeed, the photoactive species was proved not to be the diarylcarbenium salt itself, but two intermediates, a stable S-C adduct and an ion couple, that were formed after its interaction with sodium benzenesulfinate. Upon absorbing light, the ion couple could reach an excited state with a charge-transfer character which gave the fundamental sulfonyl radical. A PCET (proton-coupled electron transfer) closes the catalytic cycle reforming the diarylcarbenium salt.

Abstract
Oxidative C-H functionalization with O2 is a sustainable strategy to convert feedstock-like chemicals into valuable products. Nevertheless, eco-friendly O2-utilizing chemical processes, which are scalable yet operationally simple, are challenging to develop. Here, we report our efforts, via organo-photocatalysis, in devising such protocols for catalytic C-H bond oxidation of alcohols and alkylbenzenes to ketones using ambient air as the oxidant. The protocols employed tetrabutylammonium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate as the organic photocatalyst which is readily available from a scalable ion exchange of inexpensive salts and is easy to separate from neutral organic products. Cobalt(ii) acetylacetonate was found to be greatly instrumental to oxidation of alcohols and therefore was included as an additive in evaluating the alcohol scope. The protocols employed a nontoxic solvent, could accommodate a variety of functional groups, and were readily scaled to 500 mmol scale in a simple batch setting using round-bottom flasks and ambient air. A preliminary mechanistic study of C-H bond oxidation of alcohols supported the validity of one possible mechanistic pathway, nested in a more complex network of potential pathways, in which the anthraquinone form - the oxidized form - of the photocatalyst activates alcohols and the anthrahydroquinone form - the relevant reduced form of the photocatalyst - activates O2. A detailed mechanism, which reflected such a pathway and was consistent with previously accepted mechanisms, was proposed to account for formation of ketones from aerobic C-H bond oxidation of both alcohols and alkylbenzenes.

Abstract
A series of new organic donor-π-acceptor dyes incorporating a diquat moiety as a novel electron-acceptor unit have been synthesized and characterized. The analytical data were supported by DFT calculations. These dyes were explored in the aerobic thiocyanation of indoles and pyrroles. Here they showed a high photocatalytic activity under visible light, giving isolated yields of up to 97 %. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of standalone diquat and methyl viologen through formation of an electron donor acceptor complex is presented.

Abstract
Simple petrochemical feedstocks are often the starting material for the synthesis of complex commodity and fine and specialty chemicals. Designing synthetic pathways for these complex and specific molecular structures with sufficient chemo-, regio-, enantio-, and diastereo-selectivity can expand the existing petrochemicals landscape. The two overarching challenges in designing such pathways are selective activation of chemically inert C-H bonds in hydrocarbons and systematic functionalization to synthesize complex structures. Multienzyme cascades are becoming a growing means of overcoming the first challenge. However, extending multienzyme cascade designs is restricted by the arsenal of enzymes currently at our disposal and the compatibility between specific enzymes. Here, we couple a bioelectrocatalytic multienzyme cascade to organocatalysis, which are two distinctly different classes of catalysis, in a single system to address both challenges. Based on the development and utilization of an anthraquinone (AQ)-based redox polymer, the bioelectrocatalytic step achieves regioselective terminal C-H bond oxyfunctionalization of chemically inert n-heptane. A second biocatalytic step selectively oxidizes the resulting 1-heptanol to heptanal. The succeeding inherently simple and durable l-proline-based organocatalysis step is a complementary partner to the multienzyme steps to further functionalize heptanal to the corresponding α-hydrazino aldehyde. The "three-stage" streamlined design exerts much control over the chemical conversion, which renders the collective system a versatile and adaptable model for a broader substrate scope and more complex C-H functionalization.

Abstract
Organocatalysis is widely recognized as a key synthetic methodology in organic chemistry. It allows chemists to avoid the use of precious and (or) toxic metals by taking advantage of the catalytic activity of small and synthetically available molecules. Today, the term organocatalysis is mainly associated with redox-neutral asymmetric catalysis of C-C bond-forming processes, such as aldol reactions, Michael reactions, cycloaddition reactions, etc. Organophotoredox catalysis has emerged recently as another important catalysis type which has gained much attention and has been quite well-reviewed. At the same time, there are a significant number of other processes, especially oxidative, catalyzed by redox-active organic molecules in the ground state (without light excitation). Unfortunately, many of such processes are not associated in the literature with the organocatalysis field and thus many achievements are not fully consolidated and systematized. The present article is aimed at overviewing the current state-of-art and perspectives of oxidative organocatalysis by redox-active molecules with the emphasis on challenging chemo-, regio- and stereoselective CH-functionalization processes. The catalytic systems based on N-oxyl radicals, amines, thiols, oxaziridines, ketone/peroxide, quinones, and iodine(I/III) compounds are the most developed catalyst types which are covered here.

Abstract
Azo compounds are useful molecules with a wide range of applications in organic chemistry. Here, a novel visible-light-driven oxidative dehydrogenation of alkyl 2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylates is used for the synthesis of azo compounds. This synthetic method was conducted under an aerobic environment with mild reaction conditions. Sodium anthraquinone sulfonate (SAQS) was employed as the crucial organic photocatalyst in a visible-light-driven reaction to generate various azo compounds in high yields. In addition, aerobic transformation of hydrazobenzenes to azobenzenes using visible light was successfully carried out under SAQS-mediated reaction conditions. This procedure is a practical and promising synthetic approach to produce useful azo compounds.

Abstract
Anthraquinones are a family of natural products with useful bioactivity and optical properties. An anthraquinone called parietin is produced by extremophiles to protect against solar ultraviolet B radiation, so it is a potential biosignature in astrobiology. Raman spectroscopy, which is now used in space environments, can detect molecules such as parietin based on molecular vibrations. In this study, we show that time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) can accurately calculate the Raman spectra of three dihydroxyanthraquinones: parietin, emodin, and chrysophanol. By comparing calculated spectra to measured Raman spectra from purified powders, 10 vibrational modes are identified. The detailed molecular motions of these fused ring vibrations are described, and vibrations modes that are common to all three molecules are highlighted. In addition to powder spectra, Raman measurements from the thallus of Xanthoria parietina, a lichen that produces parietin, are reported, with excellent agreement to both the parietin powder and calculated Raman spectra. These results show that TDDFT calculations could make significant contributions to spectral analysis in the search for biotic organic materials beyond Earth.

Abstract
A tetratopic bis(diphenylamino)anthraquinone linker is presented, and its physicochemical properties are evaluated. The linker is shown to successfully coordinate alkaline earth metals leading to four new reported metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have been fully characterized, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The physicochemical and emissive properties of the MOF materials are investigated and compared to those of the uncoordinated ligand. Finally, the catalytic behavior of the ligand and the MOF materials toward the photooxidation of sulfides is described.

Abstract
UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry is assessed as a tool for the diagnosis and quantitative in situ investigation of the incidence of comproportionation in multielectron transfer processes. Thus, the sensitivity of the limiting current chronoabsorptometric signals related to the different redox states to the comproportionation kinetics is studied theoretically for different working modes (normal and parallel light beam arrangements) and mass transport regimes (from semi-infinite to thin layer diffusion). The theoretical results are applied to the spectroelectrochemical study of the two-electron reduction of the anthraquinone-2-sulfonate in alkaline aqueous solution, tuning the thermodynamic favorability of the comproportionation reaction through the electrolyte cation. The quantitative analysis of the experimental results reveals the occurrence of comproportionation in the three media examined, showing different kinetics depending on the cationic species in solution.

Abstract
Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) are highly important chemicals, finding numerous applications in both academia and industry. Herein we describe a simple photocatalytic method for the stannylation of white phosphorus (P4) using a cheap, commercially-available distannane, (Bu3Sn)2, and anthraquinone as a simple photocatalyst. Subsequent ‘one pot’ transformation of the resulting stannylated monophosphine intermediate (Bu3Sn)3P provides direct, convenient and versatile access to valuable OPCs such as acylated phosphines and tetraalkylphosphonium salts. A simple, mechanistically unique photochemical procedure is reported for the efficient, direct, catalytic stannylation of P4 and ‘one pot’ transformation into valuable monophosphorus compounds.![]()

Abstract
The first enantioselective radical trifluoromethylation of benzylic C-H bonds has been established by a cooperative photoredox and copper catalysis system, providing straightforward access to structurally diverse benzylic trifluoromethylation products in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities under mild conditions. Our method features a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility. Merging the cooperative photoredox catalysis with copper catalysis is essential for the reaction, where the photoredox catalysis is used for the generation of benzylic radicals from alkyl arenes through a hydrogen atom transfer process and the copper catalysis is used for the enantioselective trifluoromethylation of the benzylic radicals.

Abstract
The chemical nature and the catalytic selectivity of the complex of anthraquinone and potassium tert-butoxide, AQ-KOtBu, in generating singlet oxygen (1O2) have been studied using a high-level ab initio method and density functional theory (DFT). The results suggest that the stable catalytic center of the AQ anion radical (semiquinone, [AQ˙]-) can be produced at room temperature, which is due to the strong delocalization characteristics of electrons in potassium atoms. Two experimentally observed complexes, the ground state AQ-KOtBu, i.e., C(1), and the photoexcited AQ-KOtBu, i.e., C(2), can be distinguished via the two different electronic states (π-type and σ-type) of the tert-butoxide group. More interestingly, the catalytic selectivity of AQ-KOtBu to generate 1O2 was investigated using multistate density functional theory (MSDFT), and the results suggest that only open-shell 1O2 rather than the closed-shell component can be generated. This work explores the electronic structure and the catalytic nature of AQ-KOtBu, which is of great importance for the application of AQ and its derivatives.

Abstract
![]()
Visible-light-excited
9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ*) was used as
a photocatalyst for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines via
the electrocyclization of 2-vinylarylimines. Up to quantitative yields
of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines were received after 1 h of excitation
with blue LEDs at room temperature when MgCO3 was used
as an additive in DCM. On the basis of experimental and DFT studies,
we propose that PQ* induces one-electron oxidation of the imine substrate
that triggers the electrocyclization mechanism.

Abstract
![]()
Direct photocatalyzed
hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) can be considered
a method of choice for the elaboration of
aliphatic C–H bonds. In this manifold, a photocatalyst (PCHAT) exploits the energy of a photon to trigger the homolytic
cleavage of such bonds in organic compounds. Selective C–H
bond elaboration may be achieved by a judicious choice of the hydrogen
abstractor (key parameters are the electronic character and the molecular
structure), as well as reaction additives. Different are the classes
of PCsHAT available, including aromatic ketones, xanthene
dyes (Eosin Y), polyoxometalates, uranyl salts, a metal-oxo porphyrin
and a tris(amino)cyclopropenium radical dication. The processes (mainly
C–C bond formation) are in most cases carried out under mild
conditions with the help of visible light. The aim of this review
is to offer a comprehensive survey of the synthetic applications of
photocatalyzed d-HAT.

Abstract
A new family of chiral chimeric photo-organocatalysts derived from phosphoric acid were synthesized and their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties were investigated. Then, the ability of these photo-activable molecules to catalyse an asymmetric tandem electrophilic β-amination of enecarbamates was evaluated. A new family of chimeric chiral photocatalysts in which a BINOL derived phosphoric acid embeds one or two photosensitizer dyes was prepared. We have demonstrated their ability to catalyse an enantioselective electrophilic amination reaction.![]()

Abstract
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a remarkable synthesis tool due to the vast array of materials that can be deposited and the complexity of structures that can be designed. The low-temperature layer-by-layer approach even allows organic and inorganic components to be combined as hybrid or composite materials. The technique is then called molecular layer deposition (MLD). This opens the door for deposition of advanced optical materials using highly absorbing aromatic molecules. Unfortunately, most large aromatic molecules are difficult to sublime or have insufficient reactivity. This is a major barrier for ALD when designing with the use of organic components for dye-sensitized solar cells, luminescence, visible light photochemistry, chemical sensors and organic electronics. In this work, we introduce a well-known orange dye molecule, quinizarin. This molecule has a large conjugated aromatic system with strong absorption of visible light and shows strong luminescence both in solutions and as a complex together with aluminium ions. Interestingly, quinizarin also shows surprisingly good properties for film deposition due to reactive -OH groups and low sublimation temperature (130 °C). Strongly coloured pink hybrid films were deposited with trimethylaluminium and quinizarin at 175 °C with a growth rate of 0.28 nm per cycle. These films were not luminescent although their optical absorption spectra are similar to those of the corresponding solution. An attempt was made to dilute quinizarin through partial replacement with pentaerythritol as a multilayer structure or simultaneous co-pulsing, although this also did not produce luminescent films. The low sublimation temperature, good reactivity and large conjugated system of quinizarin open the way for exploration of solid-state hybrid and organic films based on this molecule along many different technological pathways.
