The curvature of an aromatic system is essential parameter that can be used to program the self-assembly and host-guest complementarity in geodesic polyarenes. However, challenging synthesis curved aromatics impedes exploration related effects on binding properties. design a polyarene with programmed fitting C60 by stepwise introduction five-membered rings are presented solve this challenge. Among several methods explored, route utilizing cyclodehydrofluorination proved most successful,...
Abstract A novel buckybowl catcher with an extended π‐surface has been synthesized via cross‐coupling of two bowl shaped bromoindacenopicene moieties a tolyl linker. The obtained unambiguously characterized by 2D‐NMR and mass spectrometry. DFT calculations indicate that the curved shape receptor is favourable for binding fullerenes. Effective was confirmed interactions C 60 70 utilizing NMR spectroscopy isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). resulting values show higher affinity towards...
We have discovered a dual (i. e., soft and hard) Lewis acidity of alumina that enables rapid one-pot π-extension through the activation terminal alkynes followed by C-F activation. The tandem reaction introduces an acenaphthene fragment - essential moiety geodesic polyarenes. This provides quick access to elusive non-alternant polyarenes such as π-extended buckybowls helicenes three-point annulation 1-(2-ethynyl-6-fluorophenyl)naphthalene moiety. versatility developed method was demonstrated...
Abstract Invited for the cover of this issue are groups Alexander S. Oshchepkov, Konstantin Y. Amsharov, and M. Eugenia Pérez‐Ojeda at Max Planck Institute Science Light, Martin‐Luther‐University Halle‐Wittenberg Friedrich‐Alexander‐Universität Erlangen‐Nürnberg, respectively. The image depicts a buckybowl catcher carefully framing C 70 fullerene which is associated with miraculous, marvellous Fabergé artworks. Read full text article 10.1002/chem.202302778 .
Tandem bond activation: The dual Lewis acidity of alumina has been discovered and employed to activate C−F triple C≡C bonds in a tandem manner provide rapid access elusive nonplanar PAHs such as π-extended helicenes, buckybowls fragments geodesic nanoribbons.
