In a previous study, we found that one-fold triptycene endcapped quinoxalinophenanthrophenazines (QPPs) arrange in crystals preferably in a coplanar fashion providing high overlap of the π-planes. Thus, resulting in high calculated charge transfer integrals. Most interestingly, this motif was observed for a variety of QPPs derivatives, independently of the nature of their peripheral substituents, e.g. bromide, methoxy, cyano, or triisopropylsilylethynyl groups, and of the crystallization conditions. Here, we describe the synthesis of another small series of three QPPs containing different aromatic substituents at the same position to get an insight, whether these aromatic substituents disturb the otherwise preferred π stacking of the QPP planes. d Intensity ratio between the first and second emission peak.A solution of diamine 1b (14.0 mg, 36.5 µmol) and diketone 2 23 (15.2 mg, 24.4 µmol) in chloroform (1.4 mL) and glacial acetic acid (0.07 mL) was stirred at 70°C under an
