Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic functional molecule synthesis technology, and in particular to a dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Perylene diimide (PDI) is widely used in field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its excellent redox properties, environmental stability, and optical and electrical properties. Organic OFETs have enormous development potential, especially in memory devices and integrated optoelectronic devices. In recent years, it has been found that incorporating nitrogen heterocycles at the bay positions of PDI can effectively alter its physicochemical properties. For example, the double PDI molecule with bay-position pyrrole rings (diPDI-2N) has a bowl-shaped structure with significant curvature; introducing a five-membered pyrrole ring causes a significant redshift in its absorption spectrum. Furthermore, using nitrogen atoms as bridging atoms effectively modulates molecular curvature, electronic properties, and frontier orbital energy levels. In addition, similar perylene-pyrrole ring derivatives also possess significant characteristics such as low band gaps, strong near-infrared absorption / emission, and large two-photon absorption cross-sections, making them widely applicable as two-photon fluorescent labeling materials. However, there is only one reported synthesis of PDI backbone bay-position pyrrole molecules to date, with a single product structure and a yield of only 12%. No product derivatization method has been developed, which is not conducive to subsequent large-scale property testing and functional development. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to provide a dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PDA-2NR) and its preparation method and application. This method has the advantages of low cost, short process route and high yield.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride has the following structural formula:

[0006] Where R is any group, for example R can be as follows:

[0007] , .

[0008] The synthetic route for the dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride is as follows:

[0009]

[0010] Specifically, the method for preparing a dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride includes the following steps:

[0011] 1) Using tetrachloroperylimide (PDI-4Cl) and primary amine as raw materials, and bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium(0) as catalyst, PDI-2NR was obtained by Buchwald-Hartwig arylation reaction in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide and in toluene as solvent.

[0012] 2) PDI-2NR is acidified with acetic acid and extracted with an organic solvent in the presence of an inorganic strong base to obtain the target product PDA-2NR.

[0013] In step 1) of this invention, the primary amine is the primary amine corresponding to the R group.

[0014] In this invention, the mass ratio of bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium(O), primary amine, tetrachloroperyleneimide, sodium tert-butoxide, and toluene is 1:(1~5):(2~5):(3~5):(100~200).

[0015] In this invention, the mass ratio of inorganic strong base to alcohol is (20~30):(200~300).

[0016] In step 1), the reaction temperature is 100~120 ℃ and the time is 3~48 h.

[0017] In step 2), the reaction temperature is 100~120 ℃ and the time is 3~24 h.

[0018] The aforementioned application of a dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is used to prepare PDI-2NR class molecules, the structure of which is as follows:

[0019] In this structure, R1 is an aliphatic or aromatic group obtained by the condensation reaction of PDA-2NR with an aliphatic or aromatic primary amine. It is worth noting that R1 is different from the R' at the nitrogen end of the tetrachloroperyleneimide (PDI-4Cl) structure used as a raw material. R' is derived from inexpensive and readily available simple aliphatic primary amines (such as cyclohexylamine, 3-pentylamine, etc.), while R1 can be any aliphatic or aromatic group that meets the requirements of subsequent derivatization and functionalization.

[0020] In this invention, PDI-2NR is reacted with aliphatic or aromatic primary amines under the protection of imidazole solvent and argon atmosphere by heating to obtain PDI-2NR-like molecules.

[0021] In this invention, PDI-2NR molecules are hydrolyzed to obtain PDI-2NH.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the technical solution of this invention are:

[0023] 1. In this invention, dipyrrole-fused perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride molecules (PDA-2NR) can be prepared by a modeling method and can undergo condensation reactions with a series of aliphatic and aromatic primary amines to obtain a series of PDI-2NR molecules in yields of 50% to 90%. This method provides a new strategy for the efficient construction of nitrogen-containing surface π-molecules. Simultaneously, the alkyl groups at the bay position (such as tert-butyl groups) can be removed by hydrolysis, providing a prerequisite for further functionalization modifications. The synthetic strategy of this invention has good universality, simple separation and purification processes, and low organic solvent consumption, thus possessing high value for widespread application.

[0024] 2. The synthesis process of PDI-2NR provided by the present invention is completed in 85% yield by Buchwald-Hartwig aromatic amination reaction. The synthesis process is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, and the cost is low.

[0025] 3. The introduction of the pyrrole ring in PDI-2NR provided by this invention makes the subsequent synthesis of PDI-2NR-like molecules more convenient, and the removal of the substituent R at the bay position makes it easy to modify for multifunctionality, which is expected to endow the functionalized products with more specific properties.
