Lots of potential: a trifluoromethylated corannulene, C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5), has been prepared and characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography. The structure exhibits a highly ordered bowl stacking that is unusual for corannulenes with acyclic substituents. The first reduction of C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5) is anodically shifted by 0.95 V, making it the strongest corannulene-based electron acceptor to date.
一种三氟甲基化的corannulene，C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5)，已经被制备并通过光谱学和 X 射线晶体学进行了表征。该结构表现出高度有序的碗状堆积，这对于具有非循环取代基的 corannulenes 来说是不寻常的。C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5)的第一次还原被阳极移位了 0.95 V，使其成为迄今为止最强的基于 corannulene 的电子受体。
