Abstract:
π-Conjugated molecule-based porous organic frameworks that possess both one-dimensionally π-stacked columnar domains and pore channels surrounded by the π-conjugated surface are a sophisticated platform for optoelectronic materials responsive to chemical stimuli. In this paper, we report a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) with a wide inclusion channel whose surfaces are composed of the π-conjugated plane of naphthalenediimide (NDI). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area was determined to be 1410 m2 g-1. Slip-stacking of a hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional network composed of tetracarboxylic acid NDITA with an NDI core provides both electron-conductive π-stacked NDI domains and pore channels surrounded by the NDI surface. Since aromatic solvents can come into contact with the NDI moieties in the pores, the HOF exhibits solvent-dependent photophysical behaviors. In particular, inclusion of dimethoxybenzene (DMB) into the pores enhances charge-transfer interactions, resulting in significant changes in absorption and emission spectra as well as electron conductivity.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
