Non-Kekulé quinoidal azaacences m-A (1 a,b) were synthesized and compared to their para- and ortho-quinodimethane analogues. m-A display high diradical characters (1 b: y = 0.88) due to their meta-quinodimethane (m-QDM) topology. Electron paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and supraquantum interference device measurements in combination with quantum-chemical calculations revealed singlet ground states for m-A with singlet-triplet gaps ΔE (0.13-0.25 kcal mol) and thermally populated triplet states. These non-Kekulé structures are over all void of zwitterionic character and possess record high two-photon absorption cross sections over a broad spectral range in the near-infrared.
合成了非凯库勒醌型氮杂并苯m-A(1 a,b),并将其与对醌二甲烷和邻醌二甲烷类似物进行了比较。由于其间醌二甲烷(m-QDM)拓扑结构,m-A表现出较高的双自由基特征(1 b:y = 0.88)。电子顺磁共振、核磁共振光谱以及超量子干涉器件测量与量子化学计算相结合,揭示了m-A的单重态基态,其单重态-三重态能隙ΔE为(0.13 - 0.25 kcal mol),且三重态为热激发态。这些非凯库勒结构总体上没有两性离子特征,并且在近红外的宽光谱范围内具有创纪录的高二光子吸收截面。
