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.
Contorted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or nanographenes (NGs) have received increasing attention and are mostly prepared by bottom-up strategies. Apparently, systematically tuning the properties of NGs for application is important but challenging. Here, a new type of helix, azepine-embedded NGs, were designed and synthesized by the introduction of NH into the hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) core. We demonstrate that this nitrogen-doped NG can be functionalized via N-H derivatization. Through modifications to the NH site with a chiral auxiliary reagent, optical resolution of the chiral NG was achieved. Meanwhile, it was found that by introducing various aryl groups with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents, the emission intensity and the fluorescence mechanism can be modulated. Compared to the original NH-containing NG, the modified derivative exhibited improved fluorescence efficiency and tunable emission wavelength. A functionalized structure of benzoic acid with considerably improved fluorescence efficiency, hydrophilicity, and membrane permeability to stain the live cells was proved.
