Abstract

This paper reports the efficient core-substitution of halogenated naphthalene diimides utilizing the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction to install various aryl substituents at the 2, 6 positions. The UV-visible spectra of these compounds show a clear absorbance red shift and an enhanced fluorescence output, making them potential candidates for solar-cell dyes and electroactive elements for supramolecular materials.
