Abstract
Aza-Pechmann derivatives have emerged as interesting building blocks for the preparation of organic electronic devices. The development of methodologies aimed to enhance their chemical stability and modulate their physical and chemical properties constitutes an interesting goal. Here we report the synthesis of mechanically interlocked aza-Pechmann dyes with benzylic amide macrocycles, along with the study of how the mechanical bond impacts their stability, photophysical and redox properties. Rotaxanes composed of Pechmann dilactams as threads exhibit one of the highest energy barriers for macrocyclic ring rotation, highlighting the strength of the attractive interactions ring-thread within the interlocked structure. Their enhanced thermal stability, compared to the non-interlocked counterparts, evidences the protective role of the macrocycle. Computational and electrochemical analyses indicate that the benzylic amide macrocycle improves the stability of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals of the interlocked dyes. Finally, spectroscopic and electrochemical data reveal that the macrocycle subtly modulates the optoelectronic and redox behaviour of the Pechmann dilactams.

Abstract
An efficient Pd-catalyzed arylation of alkylpyridine based on the pyridinium activation strategy has been developed for synthesis of mixed aryl alkylpyridines. It was found that (1) the N-methyl group in the pyridinium salts acted as a transient activator and could be automatically departed after the reaction, (2) CuBr was an indispensable additive for achieving the C6-selective arylation, (3) the α-branched alkyl chain on the alkylpyridine greatly increased the yield of the product. Deuterium labelling experiment revealed that in the case of the α-branched alkylpyridine, the presence of CuBr completely inhibited the H/D exchange at the benzylic position and thus enabled the selective arylation at the C6 position. This protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope, and with respect to both the aryl iodides and the α-branched alkylpyridine, the desired mixed aryl alkylpyridines were obtained in generally good to excellent yields.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and characterization of a new class of blue-colored thiophene-substituted Pechmann dyes are reported. Due to a distinguishing blue coloration and the capability to absorb light in one of the most photon-dense regions of the solar spectrum, such compounds are of great interest for application as photoactive materials in organic optoelectronics, in particular, in dye-sensitized solar cells. To achieve fine tuning of the optical and electrochemical properties, the electron-poor thiophene-bis-lactone moiety has been decorated with donor (D) and acceptor groups (A), targeting fully conjugated D-A-π-A structures. The designed structures have been investigated by means of DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations, and the most promising dyes have been synthesized. These molecules represent the very first preparation of unsymmetrical Pechmann derivatives. Optical and electrochemical properties of the new dyes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. In two cases, test cells were built proving that a photocurrent can indeed be generated when using electrolytes especially formulated for narrow-band-gap dyes, although with a very low efficiency.
