Click-type reaction of aromatic polyamines for improvement of thermal and optoelectronic properties.
Tsuyoshi Michinobu
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 130(43), 14074-14075 (2008-10-07)
A quantitative addition reaction between aromatic amino-substituted alkynes and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), yielding donor-substituted tetracyanobutadiene chromophores, was for the first time employed as a click-type reaction to improve the thermal and optoelectronic properties of aromatic polyamines. The first reduction potentials or

Complex tetracyclic ring systems were assembled by a photoinduced rearrangement of 3,3'-bis(arylbenzofurans). Irradiation of 1 under N(2) atmosphere yielded the benzonaphthofurans 2 in 75-90% yield. When the reaction was conducted under an O(2) atmosphere in the presence of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE)

We have studied the pressure-induced physical and chemical transformations of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE or C6N4) in diamond anvil cells using micro-Raman spectroscopy, laser-heating, emission spectroscopy, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The results indicate that TCNE in a quasi-hydrostatic condition undergoes a shear-induced

The solid charge-transfer complexes formed in the reaction of the electron donor 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TMTACN) with the acceptors iodine, tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) have been isolated. These were characterized through electronic and infrared spectra as well as thermal and elemental

Eight 2-phenyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]quinoline-9-carbonitriles 15 are prepared in four steps from N'-arylbenzamidines 11 and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in ~70-90% yields. The transformation involves the initial formation of N-aryl-N'-(1,2,2-tricyanovinyl)benzamidines 12 in 87-99% yields, which in MeCN undergo a 5-exodig cyclization to give the 2-[1-aryl-5-imino-2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene]malononitriles
