Molecular Carbon Imides

Abstract: The creation and development of new forms of nanocarbons have fundamentally transformed the scientific landscape in the past three decades. As new members of the nanocarbon family with accurate size, shape, and edge structure, molecular carbon imides (MCIs) have shown unexpected and unique properties. Particularly, the imide functionalization strategy has endowed these rylene-based molecular carbons with fascinating characteristics involving flexible syntheses, tailor-made structures, diverse properties, excel… Show more

“…The molecular highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and LUMO levels were experimentally determined by CV for 1a and 1b [ 24 ] in CH 2 Cl 2 ( c 0 = 2 × 10 −5 m ) with added Bu 4 NPF 6 (0.1 m ) and calibrated against the ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc + ) couple. Five reversible reduction potentials were observed and the first reduction potential ( E ½ Red1 ) at ≈−1.02 ( 1a ) and −1.04 V ( 1b ) of the PAH tetraimides equals the one of unsubstituted PBIs with −1.02 V [ 29 ] which resemble both LUMO levels at about −4.1 eV with Fc/Fc + value of –5.15 eV [ 30 ] vs. vacuum (Figure 1b, S11, and Table S3, Supporting Information). The first oxidation potential ( E ½ Ox1 ) at +1.02 V leads to an electrochemical bandgap of 2.06 eV, which is well in accordance with the optical bandgap determined from the onset of the tailing short‐wavelength absorption band (2.0 eV).…”

“…Recent years have witnessed various PBI derivatives with fascinating properties governed by divergent photophysical behaviors, enabling significant applications ranging from photovoltaics, photodetectors, and emitting materials. These contents have been extensively reviewed elsewhere. In the context of a created molecular platform based on bottom-up chemical synthesis, PBI-containing polyads and multichromophores are emerging as promising organic optoelectronic materials, whereby several modular molecular entities are covalently or noncovalently integrated into one system in different distances and orientations via molecular engineering or supramolecular interactions. If the composed molecular entities are different, for example, D-A, D 1 -A-D 2 , A 1 -D-A 2 , D 1 -D 1 -A-D 2 , etc.…”
