Electron-Deficient N-Heteroaromatic Linkers for the Elaboration of Large, Soluble Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Use in the Synthesis of Some Very Large Transition Metal Complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The selective oxidation of the perimeter of an extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), namely a six-fold tert-butylated tetrabenzo[bc,ef,hi,uv]ovalene, led to the formation of an alpha-diketone. The newly installed carbonyl centers allowed this building block to be converted into the largest known heteroatom-containing PAHs (up to 224 atoms in the aromatic core) by way of the quinoxaline ring condensation reaction. The tert-butyl substituents caused a distortion of the usually planar aromatic frameworks, which hampered the aggregation tendency of the extended aromatic pi-systems and led to extraordinarily high solubilities. All of the systems described here, even the giant phthalocyanine, could thus be purified using standard chromatographic techniques and characterized using typical spectroscopic methods. For the first time, fully resolved 1H NMR spectra of soluble, diamagnetic, 98- and 104-atom-containing aromatic systems are presented. The computed and experimental UV/vis spectra emphasize the dependence of the characteristic alpha-, p-, and beta-bands upon the size of the PAHs. It was also possible to obtain the largest known ligand to yet be complexed around a ruthenium center. A quadrupolar solvatochromic effect was observed when two donating PAH moieties were fused to an accepting quinoxaline center, in which case the photoluminescence spanned a range of about 80 nm. Electrochemical properties of the new nanographenes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and this showed quasi-reversible reductions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
