Abstract
Abstract The construction of novel nanographenes embedded with non-benzenoid rings offers a promising platform for advanced optoelectronic applications. Postfunctionalization of the tribenzo[a,d,g]coronene scaffold with an azulene unit remains largely undeveloped. Herein, we rationally synthesized novel chiral azulene-modified nanographene 6, whose structure was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 6 bearing a [6]helicene subunit was resolved via chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and its enantiomers displayed mirror-image CD spectra in dichloromethane regardless of the presence or absence of trifluoroacetic acid. These findings advance the design of tribenzo[a,d,g]coronene-derived nanographenes with tunable optoelectronic properties.
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.
