Sumanene Hexaester: An Electron-Deficient Buckybowl

Abstract

2,3,5,6,8,9-Hexakis(phenoxycarbonyl)sumanene, a hexa­substituted sumanene with CO₂Ph groups at the peripheral aromatic carbons, was successfully prepared in good yield by Pd-catalyzed phenoxycarbonylation­ using a solvent of phenyl formate. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of this compound revealed the formation of a one-dimensional columnar structure, stacked in a staggered manner. The UV and emission spectra of this showed clear red-shifts compared with those of pristine sumanene, indicating the extension of the conjugation system.

Key words

sumanene - buckybowls - palladium catalysis - phenoxy­carbonylation - electron-deficient polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - columnar­ packing structure
