Abstract
Rigid three-dimensional (3D) polycyclic propellanes have garnered interest due to their unique conformational spaces, which display great potential use in selectivity, separation and as models to study through-space electronic interactions. Herein we report the synthesis of a novel rigid propellane, trinaphtho[3.3.3]propellane triimide, which comprises three imide groups embedded on a trinaphtho[3.3.3]propellane. This propellane triimide exhibits large bathochromic shift, amplified molar absorptivity, enhanced fluorescence, and lower reduction potential when compared to the subunits. Computational and experimental studies reveal that the effective through-space π-orbitals interacting (homoconjugation) occurs between the subunits. Single-crystal XRD analysis reveals that the propellane triimide has a highly quasi-D3h symmetric skeleton and readily crystallizes into different superstructures by changing alkyl chains at the imide positions. In particular, the porous 3D superstructure with S-shaped channels is promising for taking up ethane (C2H6) with very good selectivity over ethylene (C2H4), which can purify C2H4 from C2H6/C2H4 in a single separation step. This work showcases a new class of rare 3D polycyclic propellane with intriguing electronic and supramolecular properties.

Abstract
Quinones are small redox-active molecules that are able to form intra- and intermolecular interactions both in the solid state and in solution. On the basis of 6-amino-substituted pyrido- and pyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-8,9-diones, weak interactions were investigated by single-crystal X-ray and 1H NMR spectroscopy methods. Crystallization of quinone derivatives containing a -NH-CH2- fragment led to the formation of both chiral and achiral crystals. The presence of two forms with (endo form) and without (exo form) an intramolecular hydrogen bond was experimentally detected by X-ray crystallography analysis and variable-temperature (VT) 1H NMR experiments in the cases of isopentylamino- and benzylamino-substituted derivatives. Interestingly, the exo form dominates both in the solid state and in solution.

Abstract
Polyketone compounds are powerful building blocks to synthesize various organic functional materials. Despite that a great many number of planar and non-planar polyketone building blocks have been developed, one issue is that generally there are only ketone functional groups on the molecular skeleton, which will constrain their transformation and further limit the development of functional materials. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of a building block 9,10-diethyl-9,10-ethenoanthracene-2,3,6,7(9H,10H)-tetraone with additional vinyl functional groups. In addition, its azaacene derivatives were also synthesized, and their preliminary physicochemical properties were studied.

Abstract
Benzoquinone and hydroquinone cocrystallize to form quinhydrone, a 1:1 complex with a characteristic structure in which the components are positioned by hydrogen bonds and charge-transfer interactions. We have found that analogous diphenoquinhydrones can be made by combining 4,4'-diphenoquinones with the corresponding 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyls. In addition, mixed diphenoquinhydrones can be assembled from components with different substituents, and mismatched quinhydrones can be made from benzoquinones and dihydroxybiphenyls. In all cases, the components of the resulting structures are linked in alternation by O-H···O hydrogen bonds to form essentially planar chains, which stack to produce layers in which π-donors and π-acceptors are aligned by charge-transfer interactions. Geometric parameters, computational studies, and spectroscopic properties of diphenoquinhydrones show that the key intermolecular interactions are stronger than those in simple quinhydrone analogues. These findings demonstrate that the principles of modular construction underlying the formation of classical quinhydrones can be generalized to produce a broad range of hydrogen-bonded charge-transfer materials in which the components are positioned by design.

Abstract
Benzoquinones can undergo reversible reductions and are attractive candidates for use as active materials in green carbon-based batteries. Related compounds of potential utility include 4,4'-diphenoquinones, which have extended quinonoid structures with two carbonyl groups in different rings. Diphenoquinones are a poorly explored class of compounds, but a wide variety can be synthesized, isolated, crystallized, and fully characterized. Experimental and computational approaches have established that typical 4,4'-diphenoquinones have nearly planar cores in which two cyclohexadienone rings are joined by an unusually long interannular C═C bond. Derivatives unsubstituted at the 3,3',5,5'-positions react readily by hydration, dimerization, and other processes. Association of diphenoquinones in the solid state normally produces chains or sheets held together by multiple C-H···O interactions, giving structures that differ markedly from those of the corresponding 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyls. Electrochemical studies in solution and in the solid state show that diphenoquinones are reduced rapidly and reversibly at potentials higher than those of analogous benzoquinones. Together, these results help bring diphenoquinones into the mainstream of modern chemistry and provide a foundation for developing redox-active derivatives for use in carbon-based electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Triptycenetribenzoquinone (BQ)3, where the three benzene rings of triptycene are replaced by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) rings, is known to be reduced to triptycenetrihydroquinone (HQ)3. In contrast, a molecule where both BQ and HQ moieties coexist in a triptycene framework has never been reported. In this study, triptycenemonohydroquinonedibenzoquinone ((HQ)1(BQ)2) in which one HQ unit and two BQ units coexist was generated by comproportionation between (BQ)3 and (HQ)3 and isolated by recrystallization. We obtained two types of crystals with different hydrogen-bonding structures by changing the cosolvents.

Abstract
Quinonoid compounds play central roles as redox-active agents in photosynthesis and respiration and are also promising replacements for inorganic materials currently used in batteries. To design new quinonoid compounds and predict their state of protonation and redox behavior under various conditions, their pKa values must be known. Methods that can predict the pKa values of simple phenols cannot reliably handle complex analogues in which multiple OH groups are present and may form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. We have therefore developed a straightforward method based on a linear relationship between experimental pKa values and calculated differences in energy between quinols and their deprotonated forms. Simple adjustments allow reliable predictions of pKa values when intramolecular hydrogen bonds are present. Our approach has been validated by showing that predicted and experimental values for over 100 quinols and related compounds differ by an average of only 0.3 units. This accuracy makes it possible to select proper pKa values when experimental data vary, predict the acidity of quinols and related compounds before they are made, and determine the sites and orders of deprotonation in complex structures with multiple OH groups.

Abstract
Triptycene end-capped quinoxalinophenanthrophenazine reveals a coplanar arrangement with a high overlap of the π planes. Four structurally related model compounds bearing electron-withdrawing or -donating groups were synthesized, and their optoelectronic properties were characterized by using cyclovoltammetry, absorption- and emission spectroscopy as well as theoretical calculations. The directional robustness of the triptycene end-capping of these compounds was tested by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The impact of solvents and crystallization conditions has also been investigated. In total, 17 single-crystal structures were obtained. Each structure was evaluated for its potential charge-transfer capability taking into account the overall molecular packing, solvent enclathration and the structural overlap of the π planes of adjacent molecules. For this purpose, charge-transfer integrals were also calculated for every π-stacked dimer.
