Abstract
Iodine halide as an efficient and selective halogenation reagent is presented for the cascade halogenation of an electron-deficient tetraazapyrene (TAP), yielding both chlorinated and heterohalogenated derivatives. This approach enables precise control over the LUMO energy levels of the resulting TAPs by varying the type and extent of halogenation, offering a powerful strategy for fine-tuning their electronic properties. These findings open new avenues for the rational design of TAP-based materials in organic molecular electronics.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
