Pyrene-bridged acenaphthenes: synthesis and properties of a diacenaphtho[1,2-e:1′,2′-l]pyrene and its symmetrical nitrogen analogue

Abstract

Pyrene-bridged acenaphthenes were prepared and their optical and electronic properties were studied by experimental and computational methods.

Recent advances in the synthesis and applications of fluoranthenes

“…In addition to the above examples, the Pd-catalysed intramolecular C–H arylation reaction was applied to the synthesis of a variety of fluoranthene-related PAHs including fluorescent dibenzo- and naphtho-fluoranthenes, 38 unsymmetrical twistacenes, 39 indeno[1,2,3- fg ]tetracenes, 40 electron-deficient polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides, 41 pyrene-bridged acenaphthenes, 42 bowl-shaped fullerene fragments, 43 and tetra- and pentaindenocorannulenes. 44–46 Interestingly, the synthesis of a uniformly 13 C-labeled fluoranthene was demonstrated by Gold, Ball and co-workers in 2011 via a Pd-catalysed intramolecular C–H arylation protocol.…”
