Polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides (PADIs) as represented by naphthalene and perylene bis(dicarboximide) are useful molecules for a variety of functional materials and remain important synthetic targets for organic chemists.
Co-crystallization of a macrocycle and 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene afforded co-crystals with solvents, which, when soaked in diethyl ether, formed crystals of the macrocycle through solvent exchange and the release of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene.
Porphyrinoids containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in their framework exhibit altered π-delocalization pathways in macrocycles, act as ligands to stabilize metals in unusual oxidation states and help in understanding aromaticity.
The third-order nonlinear optical properties of a series of novel pyrrole-containing compounds were explored.
An exceptional achiral and chiral multilayer 3D polymer has been created and controlled by uniform and distinct aromatic chromophore units that are multiply sandwiched by naphthyl berths.
