Five-Membered Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Overview

Five-Membered Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Overview

Heterocyclic aromatic compounds are cyclic compounds that are aromatic and have one or more heteroatoms—atoms other than carbon, in the ring. Depending upon the number of atoms present in the ring, they can be either five or six-membered. Examples of five-membered heterocyclic aromatic compounds include pyrrole, furan, thiophene, and imidazole. Pyrrole consists of one nitrogen atom having one lone pair of electrons. Furan and thiophene have one oxygen and one sulfur heteroatom,...

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview

Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that consists of an odd number of carbon atoms and an intervening sp3 carbon in the ring. The three double bonds in the ring correspond to 6 π electrons, which is a Huckel number, and therefore satisfies the criteria of 4n + 2 π electrons. However, the intervening sp3 carbon disrupts the continuous overlap of p orbitals. As a result, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic.
Removing one hydrogen from the intervening CH2 group...

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Area of Science:

Organic Chemistry
Materials Science
Nanotechnology

Background:

Chiral nanographenes (NGs) are typically designed with helical motifs.
Inherent chirality from twisted geometry is an emerging strategy for chiral NGs.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a novel red-emissive chiral NG with orthogonally arranged twisted π-skeletons.
To investigate the electronic and optical properties governed by a contorted pyrene core.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of a chiral nanographene featuring a contorted pyrene core.
Spectroscopic analysis of optical transitions (S0→S1).
Electrochemical studies to assess redox properties and radical cation formation.

Main Results:

A red-emissive chiral NG was successfully synthesized.
The NG demonstrated robust redox properties with 2e- uptake/release.
Chemical oxidation yielded a stable radical cation with broad near-infrared absorption.

Conclusions:

The contorted pyrene core dictates the electronic properties of the chiral NG.
Twist operations on NGs represent a viable strategy for novel chirality induction.
This approach expands design possibilities for functional chiral nanographenes.
