Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of a new type of very large perylene-based molecules 9 are reported. The extension of the conjugated \textgreekp system was accomplished by the facile condensation of two bay-functionalized perylene moieties with 1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzene. The resulting chromophore in 9 consists of 35 conjugated \textgreekp-electron pairs and, therefore, is comparable to pentarylenes and hexarylenes containing 31 and 36 conjugated \textgreekp-electron pairs, respectively. The unsubstituted imine N atoms of the benz-bisimidazole bridges in 9 can be readily and reversibly protonated to give the dications 9aH22+. The twofold protonation of 9 is accompanied by a bathochromic shift of the main absorption band and pronounced fluorescence quenching. The experimental results were corroborated by quantum mechanical calculations.
