Octaarylated Bisquinodimethanes: Double Dynamic Redox Systems Enabling the Control of [n]Acene Structures and NIR Absorptions
摘要
[n]Acenes are a class of aromatic hydrocarbons composed of linearly fused benzene rings (e.g., anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, etc.; n: number of annulated benzene rings). [n]Acenes are highly attractive molecules because their HOMO/LUMO levels and small band gap can be easily modulated by π-extension and the introduction of various substituents or steric strain to the acene core.
