Abstract
Though s-indacene is an intriguing antiaromatic hydrocarbon of 12 π-electrons, it has been underrepresented due to the lack of efficient and versatile methods to prepare stable derivatives. Herein we report a concise and modular synthetic method for hexaaryl-s-indacene derivatives bearing electron-donating/-accepting groups at specific positions to furnish C2h-, D2h-, and C2v-symmetric substitution patterns. We also report the effects of substituents on their molecular structures, frontier molecular orbital (MO) levels, and magnetically induced ring current tropicities. Both theoretical calculations and X-ray structure analyses indicate that the derivatives of the C2h-substitution pattern adopt different C2h structures with significant bond length alternation depending on the electronic property of the substituents. Due to the nonuniform distribution of the frontier MOs, their energy levels are selectively modulated by the electron-donating substituents. This leads to the inversion of the HOMO and HOMO-1 sequences with respect to those of the intrinsic s-indacene as theoretically predicted and experimentally proven by the absorption spectra at visible and near-infrared regions. The NICS values and the 1H NMR chemical shifts of the s-indacene derivatives indicate their weak antiaromaticity. The different tropicities are explained by the modulation of the HOMO and HOMO-1 levels. In addition, for the hexaxylyl derivative, weak fluorescence from the S2 excited state was detected due to the large energy gap between the S1 and S2 states. Notably, an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) fabricated using the hexaxylyl derivative exhibited moderate hole carrier mobility, a result which opens the door for optoelectronic applications of s-indacene derivatives.

Abstract
A density functional theory study is presented here to offer mechanistic insights and explications of experimentally intriguing observations in the Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization of cyclic and acyclic acetals of alkynylaldehydes that leads to indenone formation. The reactivity of catalytic cycles with and without methoxy migration is clearly defined when the alkyne terminus is phenylated. The reaction mechanism of indenone formation proceeds first with the coordination of Au(I) to alkyne to initiate the reaction with 1,5-H shift as a rate-determining step (RDS), and the fastest 1,5-H shift is achieved when one phenyl ring carries an electron-donating group and the other one is substituted with an electron-withdrawing group. Following the 1,5-H shift, the reaction undergoes feasible steps that are cyclization and 1,2-H shift before elimination to persist the iterative cycle, but the reactivity of both steps is highly affected by the existence of the phenyl group on the alkyne terminus. The unreactivity of the alkyne terminus not bearing a phenyl ring is because the cyclization is thermodynamically disfavorable, subsequently deactivating the 1,2-H shift kinetically and thermodynamically. The absence of a tether in the acetal unit considerably outpaces any 1,5-H shift and instead activates 1,5-methoxy migration, giving methoxy-migrated indenone, with the 1,2-OMe shift being an RDS.
