Synthesis and Coordination Behavior of 9,10-Diarsatriptycene

Abstract

Herein, 9,10-diheterotriptycenes (DHTs) containing heavy pnictogens (Pn, Pn = As, Sb, and Bi) are synthesized without using the dangerous chemicals used in conventional synthetic methods: tert-butyllithium, organomercury reagents, or trichloroarsine. In particular, 9,10-diarsatriptycene is obtained in relatively high yield and is stable under oxidation and coordination reactions. Additionally, the gold chloride complex 9,10-diarsatriptycene forms a one-dimensional supramolecular polymer constructed through coordination and aurophilic interactions.

Key words

diheterotriptycene - pnictogen - practical synthesis - oxidation - coordination - supramolecular polymer

• 18 General Procedure of DHTs To a THF dispersion of Mg, which was activated by I₂ beads, was slowly added a THF solution of PnX₃ (Pn = As, Sb, Bi, X = Cl or Br) and 1,2-dibromobenzene at 25 °C, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at 25 °C. NH₄Cl aq. was poured into the reaction mixture, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂, and the combined organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane). The solvents were removed in vacuo to afford the corresponding products as colorless solids.
