Within this thesis the interactions between novel corannulene derivatives in solution as well as in the solid state by changing the imide residue of a literature known extended corannulene dicarboximide were investigated, in order to obtain a better understanding of the packing and possible charge transport in potential applications. Accordingly, the goal of the work was to synthesize and investigate an electron-poor corannulene bis(dicarboximide) based on previously published work but with higher solubility and less steric encumbrance in imide position to enable self-assembly in solution.
To obtain further insights into the conformational stability, structure and chiroptical properties of heavily twisted PBIs another aim of this thesis was the design, synthesis, and optoelectronic investigation of various fourfold directly arylated PBIs by substitution in bay position with smaller hydrocarbons with different steric demand, i.e., benzene, naphthalene and pyrene, which should be separable by chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
As of yet, no concise study concerning the optical and electronic properties of differently core-substituted PBIs in the neutral as well as the mono- and dianionic state in solution is available, which also elucidates the origin of the different optical transitions observed in the absorption and emission spectra. Thus, in this thesis, the investigation of five PBI derivatives with different frontier energetic levels to produce a reference work of reduced PBIs was tackled.
The substitution of selected CC units by their isoelectronic and isosteric BN units in π−conjugated organic compounds (BN/CC isosterism), especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has emerged as a viable strategy to produce novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials with structural similarities to their all-carbon congeners, but in many cases with intriguing properties and functions.
In the first two chapters the synthesis and properties of novel BNB-doped phenalenyls, dithienoazadiborepins and dithienooxadiborepins are presented. The optoelectronic properties of these new building blocks can be effectively tuned by variation of the incorporated Ar (Mes, Tip, FMes) and R groups (H, Me, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph). Theoretical investigations, including NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift) scans and AICD (Anisotropy of the Induced Current Density) calculations, have been performed which provide insight into their aromatic or antiaromatic character, respectively.
The incorporation of BP units, on the other hand, which are valence isoelectronic with BN and CC, into unsaturated organic compounds, has been scarcely studied, though the potential of the resulting BCP hybrid materials for electronic applications has been recognized quite recently. Main chain conjugated polymers featuring BP fragments in the backbone are unknown so far. The first molecular model compounds for a BP analogue of the conjugated polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) are presented in chapter 3. Theoretical investigations revealed that the Mes* group to fully planarizes the phosphorus center, increasing the B=P double bond character and enabling conjugation over the BP unit. Different synthetic approaches to the molecular model compounds have been investigated and a viable synthetic strategy was found.
