Azepine-Embedded Seco-Hexabenzocoronene-Based Helix Nanographenes: Access to Modification of the Core by N-H Functionalization

Bin Zhang et al.

Summary: A new type of nitrogen-doped nanographene was designed and synthesized by introducing NH into a hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) core. The nitrogen-doped nanographene can be functionalized through N-H derivatization and optical resolution of the chiral nanographene was achieved through modifications to the NH site. The emission intensity and fluorescence mechanism of the nanographene can be modulated by introducing various aryl groups with different substituents.

Synthesis of a Dicyclohepta[a,g]heptalene-Containing Polycyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbon and the Impact of Non-Alternant Topologies

Junting Wang et al.

Summary: We report the first bottom-up synthesis of a dicyclohepta[a,g]heptalene-embedded polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbon (PCH) with four continuous heptagons. Compound 1 exhibits a distinct antiaromatic character, especially the inner heptalene core. Furthermore, PCH 1 has a narrower highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap compared to its benzenoid counterpart, as confirmed by experimental measurements and theoretical calculations. This work not only provides a new method to synthesize PCHs with non-alternant topologies but also offers the potential to tune their electronic and optical properties.
