Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 2,3,6,7-tetrabromonaphthalene diimide with various aryl- and alkynylstannanes afforded a series of hitherto unknown tetraaryl- and tetraethynyl-substituted naphthalene diimides (NDIs). UV/Vis spectroscopic studies revealed that the absorption maxima of ethynyl-substituted NDIs are significantly bathochromically shifted compared to those of unsubstituted and tetraaryl-substituted NDIs. Cyclic voltammetry investigations showed that ethynyl substituents shift the reduction potentials of NDIs anodically, thus these NDI derivatives are interesting candidates for air-stable n-channel organic field-effect transistors.

Key words

chromophores - arylenes - cross-coupling - Stille reaction - catalysis
