Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the exploration of the synthesis method and application of macrocyclic compounds in the field of supramolecular chemistry research, and in particular to a synthesis method of macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated nanorings containing spirofluorene moieties and the research on chiral luminescence properties. Background Art
[0002] Spirofluorene, as a kind of rigid spirocyclic aromatic compound formed by two orthogonally arranged fluorene units bridged by a central sp³ hybridized carbon atom, its unique steric hindrance effect and molecular orbital delocalization characteristics endow it with significant two-way electron transport ability and tunable photoluminescence characteristics. This structure shows multi-dimensional application value in the field of organic semiconductor materials: as the core component of the electron transport layer to improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells; as a blue light emitter to optimize the performance of OLED devices; its derivatives can also construct an interface charge rapid transport channel by combining with graphene quantum dots. In the field of supramolecular chemistry, due to its three-dimensional rigid skeleton and the diversity of modifiable sites, spirofluorene has become a strategic molecular building block for constructing covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and mechanically interlocked molecular devices. However, there are still significant technical bottlenecks in the development of existing spirofluorene-based supramolecular systems: (1) Lack of stereochemical control. The current construction strategy based on 2,7-position functionalized spirofluorene moieties fails to effectively utilize its inherent axial chirality characteristics, resulting in the lack of stereoselective control of the obtained macrocyclic compounds and restricting their applications in chiral recognition and asymmetric catalysis; (2) The paradox of conjugate extension and solubility. Although the traditional linear fused ring amplification strategy can improve the degree of π-conjugation, it leads to the deterioration of solubility caused by molecular planar stacking, and the complex synthesis route and harsh post-modification conditions further cause the contradiction between precise control of molecular structure and large-scale preparation. In this context, there is an urgent need to develop a new synthesis strategy with both efficient cyclization and controllable conjugate extension functions. By designing a dynamic reversible ring-forming reaction system and combining site-selective post-modification technology, the conformational regulation and electronic structure optimization of macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be achieved. This technical path can not only break through the solubility limit and maintain solution processability, but also enhance the photophysical properties through the construction of non-planar conjugate topologies, providing theoretical support and industrialization breakthroughs for the development of a new generation of optoelectronic functional materials. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention addresses some problems faced by the chemistry of macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing spirofluorene motifs: (1) the spirofluorene motifs introduced are based on 2,7-position connection, and the chirality of the spirocyclic compound is not fully utilized; (2) generally, the more connected benzene rings, the better the photophysical properties, but the worse the monomer solubility, and the simplicity of the synthesis method and the excellence of the macrocyclic molecule are sometimes not achieved at the same time. The present invention provides a simple, efficient and universal method for synthesizing spirofluorene-embedded macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated nanorings. By using the strategy of pre-reserving modifying groups and taking 2,2`-disubstituted-9,9`-spirobifluorene-embedded macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as precursors, a series of novel 2,2`-disubstituted-9,9`-spirobifluorene-embedded conjugated nanorings are developed, laying a solid foundation for further exploring new materials and new applications. The core of the present invention is to design macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons embedded in spirofluorene and oxyspirofluorene, and to construct a series of spirofluorene and oxyspirofluorene embedded conjugated nanorings with high yield through efficient and simple derivatization reactions. These functional macrocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated nanorings have excellent photophysical properties and are therefore used to construct chiral luminescent materials. Studies have shown that a newly discovered class of racemic conjugated nanorings can be separated by a high-performance liquid chromatography chiral column to obtain pure enantiomers. The chiral properties of the enantiomers were studied using a circular dichroism spectrometer.

[0033] HPLC chiral column separation experimental method: (1) Fluidity selection: Use dichloromethane as the mobile phase and use acetonitrile to adjust the polarity; (2) Filtration: Use a 0.22 μm organic phase filter to remove particulate matter and protect the chromatographic column; (3) Chromatographic column selection: Use dichloromethane as the fluidity, record the peak time, then use acetonitrile to adjust the polarity, and re-pre-experiment to screen the optimal solvent ratio; (4) Column temperature: set to 25°C; (5) Instrument parameter settings: flow rate 1.0 mL / min; detection wavelength: external absorption (commonly used UV detector); (6) Detection and data analysis: resolution (Rs), Rs ≥ 1.5, expansion and splitting; (7) Fraction collection and verification: Fractions were collected by preparative HPLC and retested by HPLC to confirm enantiomeric purity ( Figure 1 ).
[0034] The research results show that: Circular dichroism spectroscopy research results found that ( M, M )-5 and ( P, P )-5 This pair of enantiomers has excellent chirality (attached Figure 2 ); At the same time, the fluorescence spectrum research results show that the pair of enantiomers has strong fluorescence emission ( Figure 3 ). Therefore, this type of new chiral luminescent compound can be used to construct chiral luminescent thin films. Example
[0035] With the (M, M ) - 5 and P, P ) - 5 as raw materials, their transparent solutions were evenly coated on a glass plate, and after natural drying, they were directly tested by a circularly polarized luminescence instrument.
