Tetra (peri ‐naphthylene) anthracene: A Near‐IR Fluorophore with Four‐Stage Amphoteric Redox Properties

Abstract: A novel, benign synthetic strategy towards soluble tetra (peri‐naphthylene) anthracene (TPNA) decorated with triisopropylsilylethynyl substituents has been established. The compound is perfectly stable under ambient conditions in air and features intense and strongly bathochromically shifted UV/vis absorption and emission bands reaching to near‐IR region beyond 900 nm. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed four facilitated reversible redox events comprising two oxidations and two reductions. These remarkable experimental findings were corroborated by theoretical studies to identify the TPNA platform a particularly useful candidate for the development of functional near‐IR fluorophores upon appropriate functionalization.
