Article Abstract
Synthetic models of the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase containing naphthalene monoimide (NMI) of peri-substituted dichalcogenides as bridging linkers have been prepared and characterized using different spectroscopic methods. The influence of the imide functionality and the chalcogen atoms on the redox properties and the catalytic behaviour of complexes 7-10 was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The results revealed that the imide functionality has improved the chemical stability of the reduced species and the replacement of the S atoms by Se caused a cathodic shift in the oxidation peaks. Moreover, the optical properties of compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 and the respective diiron complexes 7-10 were investigated by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy assisted by quantum chemical simulations. The structures of complexes 6-9 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

In this work, we have synthesized a multichromophoric light-harvesting antenna, namely, triad, consisting of naphthalene monoimide (NMI) and perylene monoimide (PMI) chromophores. Triad was adsorbed onto polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to form triad/g-C3N4 composite, utilized as a photocatalyst for oxidative amidation reaction. This composite photocatalyst demonstrated enhanced photocatalytic activity for the conversion of a variety of aldehydes to amides, leading up to 82% product yield compared to only g-C3N4 or only triad as photocatalysts.

Naphthalene diimide (NDI) was desymmetrized by replacing one of the imide units with two nitro groups to yield 3,6-dinitronaphthalene monoimide (NMI(NO)); likewise, 3,6-dimethoxycarbazole (CBZ(OMe)) was designed as a 3-ring aromatic donor. Different derivatives of naphthalene monoimide (NMI) and carbazole (CBZ) were prepared, and charge-transfer complex formation between them was studied using NMR and UV-visible titrations; the estimated association constants () were compared with the common pair, NDI, and 1,5-dialkoxy naphthalene (DAN).

In biological systems, programmable supramolecular frameworks characterized by coordinated directional non-covalent interactions are widespread. However, only a small number of reports involve pure water-based dynamic supramolecular assembly of artificial π-amphiphiles, primarily due to the formidable challenge of counteracting the strong hydrophobic dominance of the π-surface in water, leading to undesired kinetic traps. This study reveals the pathway complexity in hydrogen-bonding-mediated supramolecular polymerization of an amide-functionalized naphthalene monoimide (NMI) building block with a hydrophilic oligo-oxyethylene (OE) wedge.

Reported herein is an efficient and eco-friendly -selective monohydroxylation of naphthalene monoimides (NMIs) to access 4-hydroxy NMIs, which possess multidisciplinary applications. The key aspect of this method is the utilization of cobalt(II)-catalysis a single electron transfer mechanism to achieve site-selective C(sp)-hydroxylation. Transformation of the hydroxyl group into pseudohalides reveals its applications towards cross-coupling reactions.

Nowadays, organosulfur compounds provide new options in the development of full organic ion batteries. However, many drawbacks (such as kinetics limitations during the reversible oxidation of disulfides with cleavage of S-S bond, as well as solubility in non-aqueous electrolytes) make their commercialization difficult. Herein, a new concept for the design of organosulfur compounds with regulated redox properties and limited solubility is proposed.
