2,6‐Bis(arylsulfonyl)anilines as Fluorescent Scaffolds through Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds: Solid‐State Fluorescence Materials and Turn‐On‐Type Probes Based on Aggregation‐Induced Emission

Abstract: A series of 2,6‐bis[aryl(alkyl)sulfonyl]anilines were synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2,6‐dichloronitrobenzene with various aryl or alkyl thiolates (benzyl‐, phenyl‐, 2‐naphthyl‐, and 2‐aminophenyl thiolate), followed by hydrogenation and subsequent oxidation. All prepared 2,6‐bis[aryl‐(alkyl)sulfonyl]anilines showed high fluorescence emissions in the solid state; X‐ray structures revealed well‐defined intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which served to immobilize the rotatable amino group and … Show more

“…Kim's group designed efficient room temperature phosphorescent crystals based on benzene having alkoxy, aldehyde and bromine groups [unsymmetric, MW=385, HCOBr] . Katagiri's group reported 2,6‐bis(arylsulfonyl)anilines [symmetry, MW >374, HCNOS] as efficient emitters based on single‐benzene framework . Blue emitter of 2,6‐bis(methylsulfonyl)aniline [symmetry, MW=249, HCNOS] and bluish green emitter 2,5‐bis(methylsulfonyl)‐1,4‐diaminobenzene [symmetry, MW=264, HCNOS] was also reported by Katagiri's group .…”

“…Another desirable feature of the emitting molecules is that they possess simple and small structures that allow broadening the scope of their applications. Therefore, single‐benzene molecules have recently attracted considerable attention as rigid and simple frameworks for its use in emitting organic material . For the development of emitters that retain the advantages of the hexagonal structure, a single‐benzene molecule should be designed, which should be characterised by ( i ) a symmetric structure, ( ii ) low molecular weight (MW) and ( iii ) a small number of different constituting atoms.…”

“…Therefore, an asymmetric arrangement of electron donors or acceptors is necessary to disrupt the orbital degeneracy of benzene to generate a nodal plane. In this study, based on our previous concept of a push‐pull system between amino and sulfonyl moieties, 2,6‐bis(methylsulfonyl)aniline (BMeSA) exhibits an asymmetric HOMO‐LUMO distribution (Figure a), in which the HOMO is located at the 1‐ and 4‐positions, while the LUMO, which is located at a different position, instead, generates a nodal plane through the atoms at the 1‐ and 4‐positions. BMeSA‐Ar 1 a – d (Figure b), which are π‐extended derivatives at the 4‐position of BMeSA, exhibit HOMO‐dependent tuning of the optical properties, a large dipole moment in the excited state, and positive solvatochromism in fluorescence spectra with a large Stokes shift based on asymmetric molecular orbital distribution and linkage through the nodal plane.…”

“…[10] This observation prompted us to explore more effective combinations of amino and sulfonyl moieties demonstrating longer wavelengths and smaller sizes.T he 1,4-diaminobenzene unit is one of the strongest donating groups with ahigh HOMO and is used as ac omponent in conductive polymers; [11] 1,4-bis(alkenyl)-2,5dipiperidinobenzenes have been reported as visible fluorophores; [12] 2,5-bis(phenylsulfonyl)-1,4-diaminobenzene has been reported as ay ellow crystalline compound.
