Resumo

Two novel polynitrofluorene acceptors π-extended with 5-nitrofuran and 5-nitrothiophene moieties (2 and 3), have been synthesised. Cyclic voltammetry experiments show single electron reduction peaks at ca. −0.66–0.67 V (vs. Fc/Fc+); however, this process (probably due to substantial changes in geometry of reduced species) is electrochemically irreversible and re-oxidation of the derived radical anions is observed at +0.05 and −0.04 V, for 2 and 3, respectively. Electronic absorption spectroscopy confirms charge transfer complexation of the studied acceptor with 4,5-dimethyltetrathiafulvalene (Me2TTF) in solution. The X-ray crystal structure of the 1:1 charge transfer complex (CTC) of acceptor 2 with Me2TTF shows mixed A ċD ċA ċD stacking, and its comparison with the structure of the acceptor itself indicates a neutral ground state of this CTC. Theoretical HF/6-31G(d) calculations for the acceptor 2 and its radical anion and dianion states are in agreement with this conclusion. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2 between the oxygen of the furan ring and C(8)-H hydrogen of the fluorene moiety is observed in both solution (1H NMR) and solid state (X-ray) and also supported by theoretical calculations.
