Abstract

A unique planar and highly π-extended scaffold, 3,8,14,19-tetrabromo-diindolotriazatruxene (4Br-DIT), was synthesized via a facile one-pot strategy. The structure of 4Br-DIT was adequately verified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C NMR, and single-crystal XRD analysis. A combination of thermal, optical, and electrochemical investigation confirmed the electron-rich characteristics of the resulting diindolotriazatruxene unit, showing promise as a building block to construct highly π-extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
