Synthesis and Bowl‐in‐Bowl Assembly of a Geodesic Phenylene Bowl

Abstract: A phenylene multiring with a corannulenoidal skeleton was synthesized. Geodesic constraints over 20 phenylene panels resulted in its nanometer‐sized, bowl‐shaped molecular structure, which was unequivocally revealed by crystallographic analysis. The crystal structure also showed the presence of a bowl‐in‐bowl dimeric assembly, which was driven by entropic factors in solution.

“…Aesthetically pleasing, bowl‐shaped molecules, referred to as buckybowls and geodesic polyarenes, are of great theoretical and practical interest among the scientific community [1–4] . Owing to their close relationship to fullerenes [5] and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [6] which revolutionized materials science, investigations into the chemistry of these contorted polyaromatics flourish [7] .…”

“…[20] By DFT calculations at M06-2X(D3)/6-31G(d) level, the freeenergy change (DG i )o fb owl inversion from bowl-down to bowl-up at different temperature in 1'2d was calculated to be À1.4 KcaL mol À1 K À1 at 100 Kt oÀ2.5 KcaL mol À1 K À1 at 400 K( Supporting Information), indicating that the bowl-up conformer become more energetically favored at high temperature. [20] By DFT calculations at M06-2X(D3)/6-31G(d) level, the freeenergy change (DG i )o fb owl inversion from bowl-down to bowl-up at different temperature in 1'2d was calculated to be À1.4 KcaL mol À1 K À1 at 100 Kt oÀ2.5 KcaL mol À1 K À1 at 400 K( Supporting Information), indicating that the bowl-up conformer become more energetically favored at high temperature.…”

“…Compound 1 was conformationally disordered at low rather than high temperature,s uggesting the favored formation of the p-p complex at higher temperature,which was also observed in the assembly of curved aromatic hydrocarbons.
