Article Abstract
Non-Kekulé quinoidal azaacences m-A (1 a,b) were synthesized and compared to their para- and ortho-quinodimethane analogues. m-A display high diradical characters (1 b: y = 0.88) due to their meta-quinodimethane (m-QDM) topology. Electron paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and supraquantum interference device measurements in combination with quantum-chemical calculations revealed singlet ground states for m-A with singlet-triplet gaps ΔE (0.13-0.25 kcal mol) and thermally populated triplet states. These non-Kekulé structures are over all void of zwitterionic character and possess record high two-photon absorption cross sections over a broad spectral range in the near-infrared.

Two series of regioisomeric dicyanomethylene substituted dithienodiazatetracenes with formal para- or ortho-quinodimethane subunits were synthesized and characterized. Whereas the para-isomers (p-n, diradical index y =0.01) are stable and isolable, the ortho-isomer (y =0.

Although diradicals and azaacenes have been greatly attractive in fundamental chemistry and functional materials, the isolable diradical dianions of azaacenes are still unknown. Herein, we describe the first isolation of pyrene-fused azaacene diradical dianion salts [(18-c-6)K(THF) ] [(18-c-6)K] ⋅1 and [(18-c-6)K(THF)] ⋅2 by reduction of the neutral pyrene-fused azaacene derivatives 1 and 2 with excess potassium graphite in THF in the presence of 18-crown-6. Their electronic structures were investigated by various experiments, in conjunction with theoretical calculations.
