Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of the crown-like structure of [3]cyclo-1,8-pyrenes (compounds 9 and 10). Planar pyrenyl arylene-ethynylene macrocycles are used as the precursors to synthesize these pyrene-based cycloarenes by [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with good yields. These molecules are confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The structure of 9 was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their photophysical properties are investigated by steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies, combined with theoretical calculations.
