Synthesis, Optoelectronic and Self-Assembly Properties of Diazadioxaacene Derivatives.

Two novel diazadioxaacene derivatives (ADOP and ADOQ) have been successfully synthesized and characterized. Their single crystal analyses disclose that molecule ADOP forms a twisted topology configuration, while ADOQ adopts a reclining chair architecture. Both of them emit strong blue fluorescence in organic solvents. Moreover, they can self assemble to form regular nanobelts and nanowires respectively via a simple surfactant-assisted method.
