We present the application of a Glaser-Hay diyne coupling for the synthesis of conformationally constrained N-amino acid amides with different diyne ring sizes. Twelve-membered rings were the smallest rings that could be prepared by this approach. We observed the formation of triethylammonium adducts in the cases of smaller (10- and 11-membered) rings. Calculation of the conformational barriers for the cyclization reactions of various ring sizes demonstrated that the formation of amino acid-derived smaller rings by this reaction is thermodynamically unfavorable.

Article Synopsis
- ????-Conjugated polymers, particularly those with acetylenic units, have narrow optical band gaps and adjustable energy levels, making them suitable for organic electronics.
- This study explores the structure-property relationships of these polymers by synthesizing Glaser-Hay-coupled model compounds and random copolymers with BF formazanate, fluorene, and bis(alkoxy)benzene units.
- The resulting materials demonstrate notable redox activity and broad absorption profiles, indicating their potential use in photovoltaics and light-harvesting technologies.

Large donor-acceptor scaffolds derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with tunable HOMO and LUMO energies are important for several applications, such as organic photovoltaics. Here, we present a large selection of PAHs based on central indenofluorene (IF) or fluorene cores and containing various dithiafulvene (DTF) donor units that gain aromaticity upon oxidation and a variety of acceptor units, such as vinylic diesters, enediynes, and cross-conjugated radiaannulenes (RAs) that gain aromaticity upon reduction. In some cases, the DTF units are expanded by pyrrolo annelation.

Monolayers self-assembled by triphenyleneethynylene (TPE) compounds bearing two terminal alkynyl chains were polymerized by Glaser-Hay (G-H) alkyne coupling at the acetonitrile-HOPG interface. The alkynyl chains extend into the solution due to the monolayer's dense-packed morphology. Reacting substructures that have no morphology-determining roles is a potential strategy for preserving monolayer morphology throughout polymerization.

C-C single bond-linked covalent organic frameworks (CSBL-COFs) are extremely needed because of their excellent stabilities and potential applications in harsh conditions. However, strategies to generate CSBL-COFs are limited to the acetylenic self-homocoupling Glaser-Hay reaction or post-synthetic reduction of vinylene-based COFs. Exploring new strategies to expand the realm of CSBL-COFs is urgently needed but extremely challenging.

Graphdiyne (GDY) with a three-dimensional network structure was synthesized on a copper foam (CF) via an in situ Glaser-Hay coupling reaction. A metal-organic framework/GDY composite membrane was designed and synthesized for the first time. CF serves as a template and catalyst for the directed polymerization of GDY membranes.
