“…Quinoidal precursors 2 (Bandrowski base) 41 and 3 42 were reacted with the aldehyde 4previously unknown -in EtOH in the presence of piperidine to afford the expected benzobis(imidazoles) 5 and 6, respectively, in 46 and 49 % yields (Scheme 1). In situ deprotection -using TBAF (tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride) -gave target compounds A and B, which could be readily reacted in the presence of gold either as molecular junction, or as unit able to form self-assembled monolayers, because of the presence of terminal -SH thiol functions.…”

We demonstrate that the conductance switching of benzo-bis(imidazole) molecules upon protonation depends on the lateral functional groups. The protonated H-substituted molecule shows a higher conductance than the neutral one (Gpro>Gneu), while the opposite (Gneu>Gpro) is observed for a molecule laterally functionalized by amino-phenyl groups. These results are demonstrated at various scale lengths : self-assembled monolayer, tiny nanodot-molecule junction and single molecules. From ab-initio theoretical calculations, we conclude that for the H-substituted molecule, the result Gpro>Gneu is correctly explained by a reduction of the LUMO-HOMO gap, while for the amino-phenyl functionnalized molecule, the result Gneu>Gpro is consistent with a shift of HOMO, which reduces the density of states at the Fermi energy.

“…9- 18 We also highlighted that the unsubstituted parent 3 behaves differently from 1 in coordination chemistry owing to the absence of N-substituents that allows the formation of polynuclear complexes with controlled lengths. 19 These observations suggest the study of QDIs 2 that can be viewed as the hybrid form of 1 and 3.…”

We describe the first isolation of N,N'-disubstituted benzoquinonediimines (QDIs) 2 which revealed drastically different properties compared to N,N',N'',N'''-tetrasubstituted QDIs 1 due to the absence of N-substituents in the "upper part" of the molecule. Three major differences could be highlighted thanks to the present joint experimental and theoretical investigation: (1) the metalation with different metal precursors revealed a specific behaviour in coordination chemistry giving access to novel complexes with unprecedented stoichiometry and remarkable absorption properties. More specifically, a new monoplatinum complex that is able to absorb light from the UV up to the NIR region because of its unique delocalization pathway across the metal centre was obtained; (2) this new class of di-substituted QDIs showed an exceptionally broad pK range (ΔpK∼ 8) that could be explained by the possible tuning of the basicity of each imine which is now attainable; (3) these quinones could be used as reagents in organic synthesis to form the previously unknown N,N',N'',N'''-tetrasubstituted QDIs with tuneable substituents (aryl vs. alkyl), previously unknown, as a new ligand for coordination chemistry.

“…In this strategy,t he ligand design is crucial since maximizing the conjugation through coordination requires keeping the p-d systems as coplanar as possible.Previous studies reported that low-lying p*o rbitals of quinoidal ligands can mix extensively with the valence d-orbitals of am etal center, yielding complexes in which the electrons could be delocalized over both the metal and the ligand. [15][16][17] In this context, derivatives of 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzoquinonediimines (2HQDI) are particularly appealing because of their fascinating optical properties, [18,19] and remarkable ability to serve as ligand in coordination chemistry.U nlike the N-substituted systems (N-alkyl or N-aryl), [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] the coordination chemistry of the parent (i.e.u nsubstituted) molecule 2HQDI in solution has been poorly investigated probably due to its low solubility and specific reactivity that induced unwanted side-reactions. [35] Some of us showed that the absence of N-substituents (no steric hindrance) allows au nique behavior resulting from the stepwise formation of coplanar polynuclear complexes NiQDI with up to 3r epeat units (n 3) ( Figure 1a).…”

Recently p-d conjugated coordination polymers have received alot of attention owing to their unique material properties,although synthesis of long and defect-free polymers remains challenging. Herein we introduce an ovel on-surface synthesis of coordination polymers with quinoidal ligands under ultra-high vacuum conditions,whiche nables formation of flexible coordination polymers with lengths up to hundreds of nanometers.M oreover,t his procedure allows the incorporation of different transition-metal atoms with four-ortwo-fold coordination. Remarkably,t he twofold coordination mode revealed the formation of wires constituted by (electronically) independent 12-membered antiaromatic macrocycles linked together through two CÀCs ingle bonds.

Extendable nickel complex tapes that reach NIR absorptions

Abstract: Stepwise synthesis of linear nickel complex oligomer tapes with no need for solid-phase support has been achieved. The control of the length in flat arrays allows a fine-tuning of the absorption properties from the UV to the NIR region.
