  • a tetraindeno fused bis anthraoxa Quinodimethane with nine consecutively fused six membered rings
    Organic Letters, 2021
    Co-Authors: Johnathan Joo Cheng Lee, Yi Han, Shaoqiang Dong, Albert Ong, Chunyan Chi
    Abstract:

    A tetraindeno-fused bis(anthraoxa)Quinodimethane RBR with nine consecutively fused six-membered rings in a row was synthesized. Its structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis and NMR measurement. Compared with an unfused analogue ABA, the indeno fusion onto the zigzag edges not only enhanced the photostability but also dramatically tuned the electronic properties. Due to the existence of two rubicene units, RBR can also be readily reduced to form a radical anion and dianion.

  • sulfur containing Quinodimethane embedded acene analogue with nine consecutively fused six membered rings
    Organic Letters, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yang Chen, Huilin Kueh, Tullimilli Y Gopalakrishna, Shaoqiang Dong, Yi Han, Chunyan Chi
    Abstract:

    Linear Quinodimethane-embedded acene analogue 9L was synthesized, and its quinoidal structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The multiple oxidation states of 9L could be achieved. Its dication is a triplet diradical, and its tetracation can be regarded as the isoelectronic structure of the nonacene, which was validated by experiments and theoretical calculations.

  • a p Quinodimethane bridged porphyrin dimer
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2013
    Co-Authors: Wangdong Zeng, Zebing Zeng, Masatoshi Ishida, Young Mo Sung, Chunyan Chi, Sangsu Lee, Dongho Kim
    Abstract:

    A p-Quinodimethane (p-QDM)-bridged porphyrin dimer 1 has been prepared for the first time. An unexpected Michael addition reaction took place when we attempted to synthesize compound 1 by reaction of the cross-conjugated keto-linked porphyrin dimers 8 a and 8 b with alkynyl/aryl Grignard reagents. Alternatively, compound 1 could be successfully prepared by intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation of the diol-linked porphyrin dimer 14 with concomitant oxidation in air. Compound 1 shows intense one-photon absorption (OPA, λmax=955 nm, e=45400 M−1 cm−1) and a large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section (σ(2)max=2080 GM at 1800 nm) in the near-infrared (NIR) region due to its extended π-conjugation and quinoidal character. It also exhibits a short singlet excited-state lifetime of 25 ps. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 displays multiple redox waves with a small electrochemical energy gap of 0.86 eV. The ground-state geometry, electronic structure, and optical properties of 1 have been further studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared with those of the keto-linked dimer 8 b. This research has revealed that incorporation of a p-QDM unit into the porphyrin framework had a significant impact on its optical and electronic properties, leading to a novel NIR OPA and TPA chromophore.

  • pushing extended p Quinodimethanes to the limit stable tetracyano oligo n annulated perylene Quinodimethanes with tunable ground states
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013
    Co-Authors: Zebing Zeng, Masatoshi Ishida, Jose L Zafra, Xiaojian Zhu, Young Mo Sung, Nina Bao, Richard D Webster, Byung Sun Lee, Wangdong Zeng, Chunyan Chi
    Abstract:

    p-Quinodimethane (p-QDM) is a fundamental building block for the design of π-conjugated systems with low band gap and open-shell biradical character. However, synthesis of extended p-QDMs has usually suffered from their intrinsic high reactivity and poor solubility. In this work, benzannulation together with terminal cyano-substitution was demonstrated to be an efficient approach for the synthesis of a series of soluble and stable tetracyano-oligo(N-annulated perylene)Quinodimethanes nPer-CN (n = 1–6), with the longest molecule having 12 para-linked benzenoid rings! The geometry and electronic structures of these oligomers were investigated by steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance, superconducting quantum interference device, and FT Raman spectroscopy assisted by density functional theory calculations. They showed tunable ground states, varying from a closed-shell quinoidal structure for monomer, to a singlet biradical for dimer, trimer, an...
