Synthesis of Quinoxalinophenazine Derivatives and Reaction of 3,12-Dimethylbenzo[a]quinoxalino-[2,3-c]phenazine with Mercury（II） Bromide： Spectral and Structural Characterization

A new series of quinoxalinophenazine derivatives were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of 2,3-dibromonaphthalene-1,4-dione with different aryl-1,2-diamines in DMF as solvent at 120~130℃ or under reflux conditions. 3,12-dimethylbenzo[a]quinoxalino[2,3-c] phenazine with bidentate character reacts with mercury(II) bromide to give suitable crystals. All products were confirmed by IR, 1H and 13 C NMR, and the metal complex by single-crystal X-ray method. The crystal(C24H16Br2HgN4, Mr = 720.82) belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 10.186(6), b = 10.421(6), c = 11.470(7) , α = 98.670(7), β = 95.069(7), γ = 109.831(7)o, V = 1119.4(12) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.139 Mg/m3, μ = 10.46 mm-1, F(000) = 676, R = 0.043 and wR = 0.115 for 3982 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).
