which consists of two pyrene units fixed intramolecularly in an ecliptic face-to-face orientation with parallel pyrene axes has been synthesized: 2,7-bis(bromomethyl)-pyrene (2) and 2,7-bis(mercaptomethyl)pyrene (3), the preparations of which are described, were cyclised to 2,15-dithia[3.3](2,7)pyrenophane (10). The disulfone 11 derived from 10 yielded 1 by vacuum vapour phase pyrolysis (5OO0C/0.1 torr). -For an analogous synthesis of the isomeric [2.2](1,6)pyrenophane (12), which might exist as two stereoisomers with parallel and crossed pyrene axes, 1,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyrene (13) and 1,6-bis(mercaptomethyl)pyrene (14) were prepared. Cyclisation of 13 and 14, so far, yielded the corresponding dithia[3.3](1,6)pyrenophane only in traces. -Absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra (Figure 1) of 1 as well as the zero field splitting parameter ID lof the excited triplet state (determined by ODMR) are discussed with regard to transannular interactions and on the basis of the X-ray structure analysis of 1 (Figure 2).Forster und Kasper') haben vor 25 Jahren beobachtet, da13 bei Losungen des Pyrens mit zunehmender Konzentration statt der normalen Pyren-Fluoreszenz eine neue breite und strukturlose Emissionsbande auftritt, die um rund 6000 cm-' langwellig verschoben ist.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
