A nitrogen-doped nanotube molecule with atom vacancy defects

Abstract: Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes have attracted attention in various fields, but lack of congeners with discrete molecular structures has hampered developments based on in-depth, chemical understandings. In this study, a nanotube molecule doped periodically with multiple nitrogen atoms has been synthesized by combining eight 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine units with thirty-two 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene units. A synthetic strategy involving geodesic phenine frameworks is sufficiently versatile to tolerate pyri… Show more

“…The synthesis of (12,12)-pNT was concisely accomplished in 9 steps from 1,3-dibromobenzene ( Figure 7). After converting 1,3-dibromobenzene to 1,3-diborylated benzene (16), we synthesized a terphenyl derivative (18) that was further transformed into [6]CMP 19 via macrocyclization in a [3 + 3] fashion. The linker units of (pinacolato)boryl were then installed using direct C-H borylation reactions.…”

“…The linker units of (pinacolato)boryl were then installed using direct C-H borylation reactions. The cyclization of [6]CMP hexagons was achieved using Yamago's Pt-mediated macrocyclization with our boryl route modifications 17,21 to afford a cyclic synthetic intermediate, [4] We owe a debt, in a sense, to one reviewer who questioned the "synthetic generality" of our pNT synthesis, which stimulated the preliminary synthesis of the (9,9)-and (15,15)-pNT molecules (26 and 27) ( Figure 7). Thus, it took one additional month for an undergraduate student to complete the synthesis.…”
