查看更多>>摘要:The π-π interaction is acknowledged as the predominant factor to determine the molecular packing in organic photovoltaic materials,while other non-covalent intermolecular interactions especially the σ-π hyperconjugation are often ignored.Herein,a perylene diimide(PDI)derivative named FIDT-PDI is designed and synthesized to shed light into the effect of hyperconjugation on the molecular packing and further the photovoltaic performance.Dynamic NMR and 2D NOE NMR demonstrate the formation of intermolecular σ-πhyperconjugation between the C—H bond of the PDI moiety in one molecule and the phenyl sidechain in another molecule of FIDT-PDI.Benefiting from the σ-π hyperconjugation,FIDT-PDI with twisted backbone reversely exhibits more ordered packing and stronger crystallinity compared with another PDI derivative FIDTT-PDI which has better planarity,consequently achieving superior PCE and higher carrier mobility.This contribution is the first paradigm to unravel the structure-property relationship between σ-π hyper-conjugation of conjugated materials and corresponding photovoltaic performance.
查看更多>>摘要:Indole-based atropisomers are a very important class of axially chiral compounds.However,the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral 2-arylindole remains largely unexplored.In this study,we report the successful synthesis of atropisomeric 2-arylindoles using direct amination of indoles with p-quinonediimines in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid as a catalyst.Quinonediimine acts as an aminating reagent through formal polarity inversion of imine.The malonate group on the 2-aryl of 2-indoles was found to be essen-tial for high enantioselectivity of the products.This could be due to the additional interaction between the ester group and the cata-lyst,as well as the intramolecular hydrogen bonding.Our findings provide a new strategy for the asymmetric construction of 2-arylindole atropisomers.
