The construction of a novel class of indazolo[2,1-a]cinnolin-7-ium and diazabenzofluoranthenium salts was developed by using Rh(iii)-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation reactions with 2-phenyl-2H-indazole, and internal alkynes, which resulted in structurally important polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds (PHAs). This reaction uses mild reaction conditions and has a high efficiency, low catalyst loading, and wide substrate scope. The overall catalytic process involves C-H activation followed by C-C/C-N bond formation. Furthermore, the synthesised cinnolinium/fluoranthenium salts exhibit potential fluorescence properties and 5i was targeted in particular for specific mitochondrial staining in order to investigate cancer cell lines.

Reported herein is the first example of a ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of phenothiazine-3-carbaldehydes to construct structurally diverse pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission characteristics. Novel organic single-molecule white-light materials based on pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics have been developed for the first time herein. Furthermore, the dual-emission molecule could be fabricated as water-dispersed NPs, which could be applied in two-channel emission intensity ratio imaging to observe the intercellular structure and can specifically target the cell membrane.

We disclosed an efficient protocol for regioselective C6 C-H/N-H activation/annulation reaction of indole-7-carboxamides with alkynes to synthesize highly substituted pyrrolo[3,2-h]isoquinolin-9-one derivatives. Under optimized reaction conditions, electron-deficient and electron-rich internal alkynes reacted efficiently with various indole-7-carboxamides to deliver desired products in good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of the product is demonstrated by its selective oxidation to the corresponding isatin derivative.

Acenaphthylene-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (AN-PAHs) are noteworthy structural motifs for organic functional materials due to their non-alternant electronic structure, which increases electron affinity. However, the synthesis of AN-PAHs has traditionally required multiple sequential synthetic steps, limiting structural diversity. Herein, we present a tandem C-H penta- and hexaannulation reaction of aryl alkyl ketone with acetylenedicarboxylate.
