Synthesis of Peripherally Arylated Tetrathiafulvalenes Extended with an Anthraquinoid Spacer via Pd-Catalyzed C–H Arylation and Construction of a Double-Helical Cobalt-Based Metal-Organic Framework

Published as part of the Special Topic Functional Organic Molecules

Abstract

Peripherally arylated tetrathiafulvalenes with an anthraquinoid spacer (TTFAQs) have been synthesized by using palladium-catalyzed direct C–H arylation of the 1,3-dithiole rings. Electrochemical analysis by cyclic voltammetry has revealed that the new tetraarylated TTFAQs show one pair of simultaneous two-electron transfer waves as the parent TTFAQ does. The hydrolysis of the tetra(p-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-substituted derivative affords the corresponding tetracarboxylic acid, which forms a new double-helical metal-organic framework upon complexation with cobalt(III) nitrate.

ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2020; 12: 12955 . We also prepared a Zn-based MOF via the same procedure. The structure of the Zn-based MOF 3 prepared in this work is similar to the precedent work, however, there are slight differences (see the Supporting Information)
