Spectroelectrochemical and Computational Analysis of a Series of Cycloaddition–Retroelectrocyclization-Derived Donor–Acceptor Chromophores

Abstract: The [2+2] cyclcoaddition (CA) and subsequent retroelectrocyclization (RE) reactions are useful in constructing nonplanar donor–acceptor chromophores that exhibit nonlinear optical properties and intramolecular charge-transfer transitions. However, both the infrared (IR) and visible–near IR (vis–NIR) spectroelectrochemical responses of CA-RE-derived chromophores are rarely explored in depth. Reported in this contribution is a comprehensive IR and vis–NIR spectroelectrochemical study of the CA-RE adducts of DMAP… Show more

“…Generally speaking, it is interesting to note that almost all the CA-RE derivatives described in the literature to date have spectral characteristics extremely close to those described in this paper when the electron donating group is a dialkyl or a diphenyl aniline. [54,57,59,62,[69][70][71][72][73][74]76,[83][84][85][86][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112] In all cases, the ICT bands are found in the same regions within a few nm. The CT band A is between 450 and 470 nm and the CT band B between 680 and 710 nm for TCNQ and between 830 and 860 nm for F4-TCNQ.…”

“…36−38 The push− pull molecular systems based on tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD) and cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidene-expanded-TCBD (DCNQ) exhibit strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) revealing new optical transitions at higher wavelengths. 35,39,40 Consequently, the TCBD and DCNQ-carrying push−pull systems have emerged as potential candidates in optoelec- tronics. 41,42 Diederich, Michinobu, Shoji, Trolez, and Butenschon et al have explored the synthesis, photophysical, and redox properties of TCBD and DCNQ functionalized push− pull chromophores as redox-active ICT systems for optoelectronic applications.…”

“…The [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization is a catalyst-free reaction known for good reaction yields . In this reaction, the electron-rich alkynes react with the strong acceptors, tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), resulting in the nonplanar push–pull molecules with low HOMO–LUMO gaps. The push–pull molecular systems based on tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD) and cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidene-expanded-TCBD (DCNQ) exhibit strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) revealing new optical transitions at higher wavelengths. ,, Consequently, the TCBD and DCNQ-carrying push–pull systems have emerged as potential candidates in optoelectronics. , Diederich, Michinobu, Shoji, Trolez, and Butenschön et al have explored the synthesis, photophysical, and redox properties of TCBD and DCNQ functionalized push–pull chromophores as redox-active ICT systems for optoelectronic applications. Recently, our groups reported the TCBD and DCNQ functionalized push–pull systems and explored their photophysical and redox properties for optoelectronic applications (Chart ). …”
