Boron Difluoride Complexes of Expanded N‐Confused Calix[n]phyrins That Demonstrate Unique Luminescent and Lasing Properties

Abstract: Complexation of novel multiply N-confused expanded calix[n]phyrins with boron difluoride afforded a new class of cyclic BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) arrays. The structures of circularly arranged BODIPY subunits linked in an N-confused fashion give rise to such photophysical properties unique to the macrocycles as redshifted emission wavelengths along with apparent large Stokes shifts, long emission lifetimes, and solid-state lasing. The DFT calculations support the size-dependent excited-state dynamics of the… Show more

“…BODIPYs have been used for many applications such as optical materials, solar cells, biological imaging, and sensitizers for photodynamic therapy [5][6][7]. Among BODIPY derivatives, cyclic BODIPY oligomers show distinct electronic and optical properties such as unique luminescent and lasing properties, cation recognition, and switchable near infrared (NIR) responses [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Shinokubo and co-workers developed the synthesis of planar BODIPY dimer and trimer (c-BODIPY-1), linked through butadiyne by sila-Glaser coupling reaction ( Figure 1) [9].…”

“…Their results show that the expanded porphyrins containing π-conjugated bridging units could be excellent precursors for the preparation of cyclic BODIPY oligomers. However, research on cyclic BODIPY oligomers is still limited due to few efficient synthesis methods [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Moreover, the relationship between the number of coordinated boron atoms and molecular configuration/optical properties of expanded porphyrins is still unclear.…”

“…In addition, the ROESY spectrum revealed the distinct cross peaks originated from the proximity of the specific regular pyrrole NH and β‐pyrrolic CH (Figure S6). Based on these observations, we proposed that transformation to a dumbbell‐shaped core structure (i.e., 2 b ) with alternately twisted dipyrrin units through flipping out the confused pyrrole rings of 2 a . At the equilibrium (after 24 h), the final ratio of 2 a and 2 b was estimated to be 5:1 at 298 K, indicating the Gibbs free energy difference of ca.…”

“…Various macrocycles with unique properties were synthesized by altering the linking unit between the BODIPY nuclei and by changing the number of repeating units. [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] In particular, Nabeshima and coworkers focused on the unique shapes and the molecular recognition properties of the cyclic BODIPY oligomers. As already mentioned, the fluorine atoms of the BF 2 unit are negatively charged, and they can interact with a cationic molecule such as ammonium ions.…”
