We report synthesis and characterization of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing/emitting Thiele's hydrocarbon derivatives, in which four aryl groups are bridged to a quinodimethane skeleton. The quinoid structure of the bridged-tetra-aryl- p-quinodimethanes (BTAQs) was confirmed by spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic, and computational methods. Although quinodimethane derivatives with a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap often exhibit biradical character, BTAQs showed no biradical character. Instead, they exhibited two-step near-infrared electrochromism. The donor/acceptor properties of the aryl groups were found to play a key role in the unique properties of BTAQs.
我们报道了近红外(NIR)吸收/发射的蒂勒烃衍生物的合成与表征,其中四个芳基桥连到一个醌二甲烷骨架上。通过光谱、X射线晶体学和计算方法证实了桥连四芳基对醌二甲烷(BTAQs)的醌型结构。尽管具有小的HOMO-LUMO能隙的醌二甲烷衍生物通常表现出双自由基特征,但BTAQs没有表现出双自由基特征。相反,它们表现出两步近红外电致变色。发现芳基的供体/受体性质在BTAQs的独特性质中起关键作用。
