We report the construction of unsymmetrical dimeric carbazoles and π-extended bis carbazoles (having an aryl ring spacer) via the C-H functionalization route. Generally, oxidative coupling and traditional cross-coupling reactions have been used to construct bis- and π-extended carbazoles. Natural bis carbazole alkaloids and synthetic dimeric carbazoles are important molecules in medicinal, materials chemistry research. There is scope for developing new synthetic transformations leading to structurally appealing bis carbazoles. The synthesis of symmetrical bis carbazoles via cross-coupling and C-H functionalization is well known in the literature and it is noted that there exist limited reports on the construction of unsymmetrical bis carbazoles via the C-H functionalization route. Accordingly, this paper reveals the Pd(II)-catalyzed bidentate directing group-assisted C-H functionalization as a progressive route for the synthesis of a library of unsymmetrical dimeric carbazoles and π-extended bis carbazoles (connected through an aryl ring spacer).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound is composed of one host mol-ecule, -4-(1 ,5 -3-aza-1,5(3,9)-dicarbazola-cyclo-octa-phane-3-yl)benzo-nitrile and one di-chloro-methane solvate mol-ecule, CHN·CHCl. The host mol-ecule possesses a planar chirality but crystallizes as a racemate in the space group 2/. It adopts an -configuration, in which two carbazole rings are partially overlapped with a parallel orientation.

Intramolecular aromatic oxidative coupling of 3,6-bis(m-terphenyl-2'-yl)carbazole provided a bis(m-terphenyl)-fused carbazole, while that of 3,6-bis(m-terphenyl-2'-yl)-1,8-diphenylcarbazole afforded a bis(quaterphenyl)-fused carbazole. Borylation of the latter furnished a B,N-embedded helical nanographene binding a fluoride anion via a structural change from the three-coordinate boron to the four-coordinate boron. The anionic charge derived from the fluoride anion is stabilized over the expanded p-framework, which leads to the high binding constant (Ka) of 1 × 105 M-1.

Described herein is a facile electrochemical strategy for the generation of formaldehyde from N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and water (H2O) toward a direct and site-selective N-hydroxymethylation of indoles and derivatives. Mechanistic studies suggested that N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylacetamide generated in situ from DMA/H2O under electrochemical conditions serves as a formaldehyde surrogate. The developed methodology features mild, base- and metal catalyst-free conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Two new nonfused ring electron acceptors were synthesized, showing a unique A-D-A (acceptor-donor-acceptor) structure and demonstrating significant absorption properties in the range of 540 nm to 700 nm.
- Their fluorescence occurs in the near-IR region, with lifetimes between 75-410 ps, and electrochemical measurements provide insights into their energy levels (HOMO and LUMO).
- The nonfused NFAs were incorporated into photovoltaic cells, achieving impressive power conversion efficiencies of 10.17% and 14.09%, indicating their potential for simpler applications in organic solar technology.

The five-coordinate complex [RuCl(PNP)] () was synthesized from the binuclear [RuCl(-cym)] with a PNP-type ligand (PNP = 3,6-di--butyl-1,8-bis(dipropylphosphino)methyl)-9-carbazole - (Cbzdiphos )H) in a toluene solution, within 20 h at 110 °C, producing a green solid, which was precipitated with a 1/1 mixture of - pentane/HMDSO. The complex was characterized by NMR-H, C, and P{H}, mass spectroscopy-LIFDI, FTIR, UV/vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, as well as a description of the optimized structure by DFT calculation. The reactivity of was investigated in the presence of potassium triethylborohydride (KBEtH, in THF solution of 1.
