The ethyl ester of beta-bromoperfluorodithiocrotonic acid reacts with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give 1,4-difluoro-2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-but-2-ene-1,4-diylidene-2,2'-bis(4',5'-dicarbomethoxy-1',3'-dithiole) (4), a new type of vinylogue of tetrathiafulvalene. The thermal transformations of this compound lead, depending on the temperature, to the formation of the cyclization products: 11,14-difluoro-2,3,8,9-tetra(carbomethoxy)-12,13-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetrathiadispiro[4.0.4.4]tetradeca-2,8,11,13-tetraene (8) or 5,8-difluoro-6,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4-benzodithiine (11).

Donor-Acceptor Fluorophores and Macrocycles Built Upon Wedge-Shaped π-Extended Phenanthroimidazoles.

J Org Chem

Department of Chemistry, Memorial University, Core Science Facility, 45 Arctic Avenue, St. John's, NL A1C 5S7, Canada.

A class of wedge-shaped organic π-fluorophores featuring a 6,9-diphenyl-substituted phenanthroimidazole () core was designed, synthesized, and characterized. Among them, a π-extended derivative containing two electron-withdrawing aldehyde groups was found to exhibit versatile solid-state packing properties as well as strong solvatofluorochromism in different organic solvents. Another derivative that was functionalized with two electron-donating 1,4-dithiafulvenyl (DTF) end groups showed versatile redox reactivities and quenched fluorescence.

Conformational Analysis of the Supramolecular Complexation of Diaryl-Substituted Tetrathiafulvalene Vinylogues with Fullerenes.

ACS Omega

Tetrathiafulvalene vinylogues (TTFVs) functionalized with diaryl substituents (aryl = 1-napthyl, 9-anthryl, and 1-pyrenyl) via click chemistry have been previously synthesized and studied as tweezer-type receptors for binding with C and C fullerenes. In particular, dianthryl-TTFV exhibits unique selectivity for C fullerene, giving rise to effective fluorescence turn-on sensing of C in the presence of a large excess of C fullerene. This observation indicated that dianthryl-TTFV has a preferential binding affinity for C over C fullerene, but the reason for such selectivity is unclear.

[5]Radialene with quintuple 4,5-benzo-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidenes (DTs) easily forms a stable polycationic salt (1) (BF ) owing to its aromatic character in the central cyclopentadienide ring. In this work, it was found that the polycationic salt (1) underwent a hydration reaction in moist polar solvent to give several unexpected products, namely, an oxygen adduct dicationic salt (2) , a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) vinylogue (3) with 1,4-dithiine-2(3H)-one moieties, and an oxygen adduct of π-extended TTF with a cyclopentenone core (4). Their molecular structures were fully determined by X-ray crystal-structure analysis.

The redox interactions between HAuCl and a series of π-conjugated organic donors, namely carboxylated dithiafulvenes and tetrathiafulvalene vinylogues, were investigated. Interestingly, the dithiafulvene derivative with two carboxylic groups showed the ability to directly induce the formation of Au(0) nanoparticles in dipolar aprotic solvents such as DMF and DMSO.

A series of bis(dithiafulvenyl)-end-capped fluorene derivatives was prepared and subjected to a one-pot iodine-promoted oxidative polymerization to yield π-conjugated co-oligomers containing tetrathiafulvalene vinylogue and fluorene repeat units. The resulting π-oligomers were characterized to take either acyclic or cyclic molecular structures, depending on the π-conjugation length of the monomer used for the polymerization. Electronic and electrochemical redox properties were examined by UV-vis spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric analyses, while the supramolecular interactions of the π-oligomers with single-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated by UV-vis-NIR and Raman spectroscopy.
