Electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of twisted dibenzo[g,p]chrysene derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (DBC), which consists of a twisted naphthalene core with four fused benzene rings, is a promising framework for organic electronic materials. Therefore, the research for structure-property relationships is important for the design of DBC-based materials. Here, the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of DBC derivatives were investigated, and the effects of substituents and torsion of the naphthalene moiety were examined based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All the substituted DBC derivatives showed higher oxidation potentials than that for DBC-H, even for compounds that contained an electron-donating group such as DBC-Me and DBC-SMe. DFT calculations clearly indicate that these higher oxidation potentials are
