Structural and Spectroscopic Study of 6,7-Dicyano-Substituted Lumazine with High Electron Affinity and Proton Acidity
The introduction of cyano groups
into lumazine (pteridine-2,4-(1<i>H</i>,3<i>H</i>)Âdione) at the C6 and C7 positions
enhances its electron affinity, proton acidity, and solubility in
solvents. As a result, 6,7-dicyanolumazine (DCNLH<sub>2</sub>) forms
charge transfer (CT) complexes with donors such as tetrathiafulvalene,
2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine, and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine
and readily dissociates a proton from the N1 nitrogen to form a monoanionic
salt with tetrabutylammonium (TBA<sup>+</sup>). Crystal structures
of the CT complexes consist of mixed stacks in which DCNLH<sub>2</sub> interacts with donors in face-to-face configurations, but they form
intermolecular hydrogen bonds differently depending on the donor type.
In the TBA<sup>+</sup> salt, two deprotonated DCNLH<sup>–</sup> monoanions form a unique dianionic dimer connected by two centrosymmetric
hydrogen bonds, N3–H···O–C2, which is
electronically isolated by the presence of bulky TBA<sup>+</sup> countercations
and the absence of a proton at the N1 hydrogen-bonding site. This
dimer fluoresces yellowish green (fluorescence quantum yield Φ
= 0.04). Because the DCNLH<sup>–</sup> anion only shows weak
blue fluorescence in aqueous solution (Φ < 0.01), we suggest
that the dimer formation is responsible for the fluorescence enhancement
with a large emission band shift to the low-energy side

Supramolecular Rotators of (Aniliniums)([18]crown-6) in Electrically Conducting [Ni(dmit)<sub>2</sub>] Crystals
Supramolecular
assemblies of anilinium (Ani<sup>+</sup>) and fluoroanilinium derivatives
(FAni<sup>+</sup>) with [18]Âcrown-6
were introduced into electrically conducting [NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>] crystals (dmit<sup>2–</sup> is 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate).
The crystal structures, electrical conductivities, and magnetic susceptibilities
of four new crystals of (Ani<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6)Â[NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>3</sub> (<b>1</b>), (<i>o</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6)Â[NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>3</sub> (<b>2</b>), (<i>m</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6)Â[NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>3</sub> (<b>3</b>), and (<i>p</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6)Â[NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>3</sub> (<b>4</b>) were examined from the viewpoint of dynamic supramolecular rotator
structures within the crystals. The crystal structures, electrical
conduction, and magnetic properties were classified into group-<b>I</b> (crystals <b>1</b> and <b>4</b>) and group-<b>II</b> (crystals <b>2</b> and <b>3</b>). The hydrogen-bonding
interaction between -NH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> and the oxygen atoms
of [18]Âcrown-6 formed the stand-up configuration of rotator-stator
structures of (Ani<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6) and (FAni<sup>+</sup>)Â([18]Âcrown-6) supramolecules. The potential energy barriers for
the 2-fold flip-flop motion of phenyl- and <i>p</i>-fluorophenyl-rings
in crystals <b>1</b> and <b>4</b> had a relatively small
magnitude of ∼150 kJmol<sup>–1</sup>, suggesting that
rotations of Ani<sup>+</sup> and <i>p</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup> cations around the C-NH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> axis occurred in
the crystals. In contrast, a large magnitude of the potential energy
barriers for the rotations of <i>o</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup> and <i>m</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup> cations in crystals <b>2</b> and <b>3</b> (>600 kJmol<sup>–1</sup>) resulted in static supramolecular
cationic structures. The cation:anion ratio of 1:3 in these crystals
yielded a trimer Ï€-stack of [NiÂ(dmit)<sub>2</sub>] with a semiconductor-like
temperature dependence. The magnetic susceptibilities of the static
crystals <b>2</b> and <b>3</b> were reproduced by the
one-dimensional antiferromagnetic linear Heisenberg chain through
the one-dimensional linear trimer arrangement. The magnetic susceptibilities
of dynamic crystals <b>1</b> and <b>4</b> enhanced electron
delocalization through the intratrimer and intertrimer interactions
within the trimer stack, where the molecular rotations of Ani<sup>+</sup> and <i>p</i>-FAni<sup>+</sup> cations played an
important role
