摘要

Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone, due to its intrinsically low HOMO-LUMO gap, has been suggested as a valuable repeat unit in conducting polymers for nanoscale electronics. The HOMO and LUMO of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone appear to be associated with the relevant π orbitals of unsubstituted cyclopentadienone. Using previously developed carbonylative coupling reactions, a series of tetraarylcyclopentadienones was synthesized ...
