新加坡國立大學Chunyan Chi團隊揭示了一種穩定的[4,3]多環並苯雙自由基體的合成、結構和電子性質。 該研究結果於2020年11月09日發表在國際頂尖學術期刊《德國應用化學》。
由於其固有的開殼雙自由基特性,周圍融合的兩排或更多排並苯(多環並苯)的合成具有很大的挑戰性。
研究組報導了迄今為止最大的多環並苯分子衍生物(4),即[4,3]多環並苯,並以晶體形式分離。親本[4,3]多環並苯包含三排並四苯,具有源於芳香烴穩定性的較大雙自由基特徵(y 0 = 94.8%)。由於動力學阻斷,4表現出合理的穩定性,在環境條件下的半衰期為~157小時。
研究組通過X射線晶體學分析確定了它的結構,鍵長分析顯示了8個局部Clar六隅體。4表現出開殼單線態基態,具有較窄的電化學能隙(1.13 eV)和較小的單線態三態能隙(根據SQUID的測量結果為‐0.57 kcal/mol)。它的電子性質可與此前報導的多環並四苯和萜烯衍生物相媲美。

Abstract: Synthesis of peri‐fused two or more rows of acenes (peri‐acenes) is challenging due to their intrinsic open‐shell diradical character. Herein, we report the isolation of a derivative ( 4 ) of hitherto the largest peri‐acene molecule, namely [4,3]peri‐acene, in a crystal form. The parent [4,3]peri‐acene containing three rows of tetracene has a large diradical character (y 0 = 94.8%) originated from aromatic stabilization. Due to kinetic blocking, 4 showed reasonable stability with a half‐life time of ~157 hours under ambient conditions. Its structure was determined by X‐ray crystallographic analysis, and bond length analysis revealed eight localized Clar’s sextets. 4 exhibited open‐shell singlet ground state with a narrow electrochemical energy gap (1.13 eV) and a small singlet‐triplet energy gap (‐0.57 kcal/mol from SQUID measurement). Its electronic properties are compared with previously reported peri‐tetracene and teranthene derivatives.
