Synthesis and Properties of N-Arylcarbazolophane-Paracyclophane Combined with Carbazoles

Abstract

The intramolecular etherification of precursor tetrol 7 afforded N-arylcarbazolophane 5 as a single isomer. Carbazolophane 5 is considered to be a paracyclophane combined with a carbazole, and possesses excimer-like fluorescence properties with λ_max = 423 nm.

Key words

paracyclophane - carbazole - fluorescence - excimer
