Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 63(15)

Published: Feb. 12, 2024

Abstract A negatively curved aza‐nanographene (NG) containing two octagons was synthesized by a regioselective and stepwise cyclodehydrogenation procedure, in which double aza[7]helicene simultaneously formed as an intermediate. Their saddle‐shaped structures with negative curvature were unambiguously confirmed X‐ray crystallography, thereby enabling the exploration of structure–property relationship photophysical, electrochemical conformational studies. Moreover, assembly octagon‐embedded aza‐NG fullerenes probed fluorescence spectral titration, record‐high binding constants ( K =9.5×10 3 M −1 C 60 , =3.7×10 4 70 ) found among reported polycyclic aromatic compounds. The tight association further elucidated diffraction analysis their co‐crystal, showed formation 1 : complex substantial concave‐convex interactions.

Strained carbon nanohoops exhibit attractive photophysical properties due to their unique π-conjugated structure. However, incorporation of such into the pincer ligand metal complexes has rarely been explored. Herein, a new family highly strained cyclometalated platinum(II) synthesized and characterized. Strain-promoted C–H bond activation observed during coordination process, Hückel–Möbius topology random-columnar packing in solid state are found.
