</script>Benzo‐Extended Cyclohepta[def]fluorene Derivatives with Very Low‐Lying Triplet States
pmid: 35290699
pmc: PMC9324097
AbstractOpen‐shell non‐alternant polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs) are attracting increasing attention due to their promising applications in organic spintronics and quantum computing. Herein we report the synthesis of three cyclohepta[def]fluorene‐based diradicaloids (1–3), by fusion of benzo rings on its periphery for the thermodynamic stabilization, as evidenced by multiple characterization techniques. Remarkably, all of them display a very narrow optical energy gap (Egopt=0.52–0.69 eV) and persistent stability under ambient conditions (t1/2=11.7–33.3 h). More importantly, this new type of diradicaloids possess a low‐lying triplet state with an extremely small singlet–triplet energy gap, as low as 0.002 kcal mol−1, with a clear dependence on the molecular size. This family of compounds thus offers a new route to create non‐alternant open‐shell PHs with high‐spin ground states, and opens up novel possibilities and insights into understanding the structure–property relationships.
