AI Article Synopsis
- A new, simple method has been developed for combining unfunctionalized tetracene with aromatic compounds using a one-pot oxidative reaction.
- The result of this reaction is the creation of annulated products that feature an extended pi-electron network.
- Notably, thieno-annulated tetracenes show better photooxidative stability compared to benzo-annulated counterparts and are more stable than tetracene and its derivatives like rubrene, which easily undergo photooxidation.
Article Abstract
A facile method for the direct cross-annulation of unfunctionalized tetracene is reported. The one-pot oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between tetracene and aromatic compounds, such as benzene or 2-methylthiophene, furnished annulated products with an extended π-network. Moreover, relative to the benzo-annulated tetracenes, thieno-annulated tetracenes exhibited notably improved photooxidative stability. This behavior stands in sharp contrast with that of tetracene and its derivatives, such as rubrene, which readily engage in photoinduced oxidation reactions.
