Abstract

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of nanometer-sized conjugated molecules of 5-X-naphthylethynyl (X= NO2, NMe2) units with precise length and constitution have been carried out. A new extended π-conjugated 5-nitronaphthyl family was synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between the protected 5-iodonaphthylethynyl 5a and 1-ethynyl-5-nitronaphthalene 9, or the resulting ethynyl compound 11 and the 1- ...
