Facile Two-Step Synthesis of 1,10-Phenanthroline-Derived Polyaza[7]helicenes with High Fluorescence and CPL Efficiency

TL;DR: A facile two-step synthesis of aza[7]helicenes possessing a 6,9-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline via double amination with aniline derivatives followed by hypervalent iodine reagent-mediated intramolecular double-NH/CH couplings was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Structures of a Series of Bulky “Rind-Br” Based on a Rigid Fused-Ring s-Hydrindacene Skeleton

TL;DR: A series of octa-R-substituted bromo-s-hydrindacenes, Rind-Br, have been synthesized by a sequence of the Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction, bromination and vice versa as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation along with "rollover" for the synthesis of 4-azafluorenes.

TL;DR: Pyridine-directed C-H bond activation along with "rollover" are likely to be key steps of this transformation of 4-azafluorene compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acid-Responsive Fluorescent Compounds Based on Nitro-Group-Substituted L-Shaped Pentacycles, Pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthylidines

TL;DR: Acid titration experiments and NMR spectroscopy, plus DFT calculations, show that formation of a pyridinium cation species is responsible for the appearance of fluorescence.
