RESUMEN
Norcorrole derivatives with 3,4,5-trialkoxyphenyl moieties at the meso positions were synthesized to form various stacking assemblies in single crystals and thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) depending on aliphatic chain lengths. Triple-decker stacking structures were formed via the interactions between the antiaromatic systems formed for the butoxy and dodecyloxy derivatives in the single-crystal and LC states, respectively. In particular, the LC state exhibited discotic columnar structures comprising triple deckers to exhibit high electric conductivity, as supported by molecular dynamics simulations.

RESUMEN
PtII complexes of π-extended dipyrrolyldiketones were synthesized as anion-responsive π-electronic molecules. The dipyrrolyldiketone PtII complexes exhibited red-shifted absorption and photoluminescence properties. In the solid state, [1 + 1]-type anion complexes formed charge-by-charge ion-pairing assemblies when combined with countercations. Detailed theoretical studies of the packing structures revealed favorable interactions between the planar anion complexes and π-electronic cations.
PtII complexes of π-extended dipyrrolyldiketones, introducing arylethynyl substituents, in the form of anion complexes exhibited the formation of charge-by-charge assemblies with π-electronic cations via iπiπ interactions.
RESUMEN
Anion binding and ion pairing of dipyrrolyldiketone PtII complexes as anion-responsive π-electronic molecules resulted in photophysical modulations, as observed in solid-state phosphorescence properties. Modifications to arylpyridine ligands in the PtII complexes significantly impacted the assembling behaviour and photophysical properties of anion-free and anion-binding (ion-pairing) forms. The PtII complexes, in the presence of guest anions and their countercations, formed various anion-binding modes and ion-pairing assembled structures depending on constituents and forms (solutions and crystals). The PtII complexes emitted strong phosphorescence in deoxygenated solutions but showed extremely weak phosphorescence in the solid state owing to self-association. In contrast, the solid-state ion-pairing assemblies with tetraalkylammonium cations exhibited enhanced phosphorescence owing to the formation of hydrogen-bonding 1D-chain PtII complexes dispersed by stacking with aliphatic cations. Theoretical studies revealed that the enhanced phosphorescence in the solid-state ion-pairing assembly was attributed to preventing the delocalisation of the electron wavefunction over PtII complexes.
RESUMEN
The pairing of charged π-electronic systems and their ordered arrangement have been achieved by iπ-iπ interactions that are derived from synergetically worked electrostatic and dispersion forces. Charged π-electronic systems that provide ion pairs as building blocks for assemblies have been prepared by diverse strategies for introducing charge in the core π-electronic systems. One method to prepare charged π-electronic systems is the use of covalent bonding that makes π-electronic ions and valence-mismatched metal complexes as well as protonated and deprotonated states. Noncovalent ion complexation is another method used to create π-electronic ions, particularly for anion binding, producing negatively charged π-electronic systems. Charged π-electronic systems afford various ion pairs, consisting of both cationic and anionic π-systems, depending on their combinations. Geometries and electronic states of the constituents in π-electronic ion pairs affect the photophysical properties and assembling modes. Recent progress in π-electronic ion pairs has revealed intriguing characteristics, including the transformation into radical pairs through electron transfer and the magnetic properties influenced by the countercations. Furthermore, the assembly states exhibit diversity as observed in crystals and soft materials including liquid-crystal mesophases. While the chemistry of ion pairs (salts) is well-established, the field of π-electronic ion pairs is relatively new; however, it holds great promise for future applications in novel materials and devices.
RESUMEN
A series of ion pairs based on a bidipyrrin-AuIII complex that acts as a stable helical π-electronic cation have been prepared via ion-pair metathesis. The helical cation, which exhibits NIR absorption and phosphorescence emission, formed solid-state ion-pairing assemblies, whose assembling modes depended on the properties of coexisting counteranions.
RESUMEN
Dithienylnitrophenols were synthesized as precursors of π-electronic anions, which were stabilized by intramolecular chalcogen bonding, forming various ion pairs in combination with cations. The modes of solid-state charge-by-charge assemblies, along with solution-state stacking and photoinduced electron transfer behaviors, were modulated by the constituent ionic species.
RESUMEN
Quinoidal molecules based on dipyrrolyldiketone boron complexes (QPBs), in which pyrrole units were connected by a partially conjugated system as a singlet spin coupler, were synthesized. QPB, which was stabilized by the introduction of a benzo unit at the pyrrole ß-positions, formed a closed-shell tautomer conformation that showed near-infrared absorption. The deprotonated species, monoanion QPB- and dianion QPB2-, showing over 1000 nm absorption, were formed by the addition of bases, providing ion pairs in combination with countercations. Diradical properties were observed in QPB2-, whose hyperfine coupling constants were modulated by ion-pairing with π-electronic and aliphatic cations, demonstrating cation-dependent diradical properties. VT NMR and ESR along with a theoretical study revealed that the singlet diradical was more stable than the triplet diradical.
RESUMEN
A variety of naphthalenediolates were orthogonally introduced to the boron unit of dipyrrolyldiketone boron complexes, exhibiting electronic properties that depended on the substituting positions of the naphthyl moieties. Combining the anion complexes with countercations resulted in the formation of ion-pairing assemblies with supporting stacking interactions of the naphthyl units.
RESUMEN
Squarylium-based π-electronic cation with an augmented dipole was synthesized by methylation of zwitterionic squarylium. The cation formed various ion pairs in combination with anions, and the ion pairs exhibited distinct photophysical properties in the dispersed state, ascribed to the formation of J- and H-aggregates. The ion pairs provided solid-state assemblies based on cation stacking. It is noteworthy that complete segregation of cations and anions was observed in a pseudo-polymorph of the ion pair with pentacyanocyclopentadienide as a π-electronic anion. In the crystalline state, the ion pairs exhibited photophysical properties and electric conductivity derived from cation stacking. In particular, the charge-segregated ion-pairing assembly induces an electric conductive pathway along the stacking axis. The charge-segregated mode and fascinating properties were derived from the reduced electrostatic repulsion between adjacent π-electronic cations via dipole-dipole interactions.
RESUMEN
Various counteranions of the thiaporphyrin-NiII complex as a π-electronic cation were exchanged for preparing stable ion pairs. The ion-pairing assembling modes, which included contributions of charge-by-charge and charge-segregated modes, and properties depended on the geometries and electronic states of the counteranions.

Solid-state ion-pairing structures were modulated according to the introduced azide moieties along with coexisting bulky and π-electronic cations.

RESUMEN
Anion-responsive photofunctional materials have been extensively studied because anions are important for biotic activity and constitute the building blocks of elegant supramolecular architectures. A number of fluorescent anion receptors that can probe anions in their environments have been reported, but the excited states of many of these molecules remain elusive. Studies on excited-state dynamics provide fruitful information for optimizing the emission properties, minimizing the photodegradation and photorelease of anions, and exploring novel photofunctions. In this study, we investigated the excited-state dynamics of an aryl-substituted dipyrrolyldiketone difluoroboron complex, a π-conjugated anion receptor, by time-resolved visible and infrared absorption spectroscopy and emission decay measurements combined with quantum chemical calculations. Anion binding was found to alter the radiative and nonradiative rate constants and the excited-state absorption of the anion receptor. In contrast, the molecular structures and binding abilities were similar in the S0 and S1 states.
RESUMEN
The introduction of a carboxy unit onto dipyrrolyldiketone skeletons was achieved by complexation with arylfluoroboron moieties bearing an acid group. Carboxylate-appended anion-responsive π-electronic molecules, formed upon deprotonation, provided anion-binding self-assemblies, as anionic supramolecular polymers, resulting in ion-pairing assemblies.
RESUMEN
In this study, charged π-electronic species are observed to develop stacking structures based on electrostatic and dispersion forces. i π- i π Interaction, defined herein, functions for the stacking structures consisting of charged π-electronic species and is in contrast to conventional π-π interaction, which mainly exhibits dispersion force, for electronically neutral π-electronic species. Establishing the concept of i π- i π interaction requires the evaluation of interionic interactions for π-electronic ion pairs. Free base (metal-free) and diamagnetic metal complexes of 5-hydroxy-10,15,20-tris(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin were synthesized, producing π-electronic anions upon the deprotonation of the hydroxy unit. Coexisting cations in the ion pairs with porphyrin anions were introduced as the counter species of the hydroxy anion as a base for commercially available cations and as ion-exchanged species, via Na+ in the intermediate ion pairs, for synthesized π-electronic cations. Solid-state ion-pairing assemblies were constructed for the porphyrin anions in combination with aliphatic tetrabutylammonium (TBA+) and π-electronic 4,8,12-tripropyl-4,8,12-triazatriangulenium (TATA+) cations. The ordered arrangements of charged species, with the contributions of the charge-by-charge and charge-segregated modes, were observed according to the constituent charged building units. The energy decomposition analysis (EDA) of single-crystal packing structures revealed that electrostatic and dispersion forces are important factors in stabilizing the stacking of π-electronic ions. Furthermore, crystal-state absorption spectra of the ion pairs were correlated with the assembling modes. Transient absorption spectroscopy of the single crystals revealed the occurrence of photoinduced electron transfer from the π-electronic anion in the charge-segregated mode.
RESUMEN
Stimulus-responsive supramolecular architectures have become an attractive alternative to conventional ones for many applications in sensing, drug-delivery and switchable memory systems. Herein, we used an anion receptor (H: host) as a hydrostatic-pressure-manipulatable fluorescence foldamer and halide anions as chiral (binaphthylammonium) and achiral (tetrabutylammonium) ion pairs (SS or RR ·X and TBA·X; X = Cl, Br), and then investigated their (chir)optical properties and molecular recognition behavior under hydrostatic pressures. The conformational changes and optical properties of H in various organic solvents were revealed by UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes upon hydrostatic pressurization. The anion-recognition abilities of H upon interactions with SS or RR·X and TBA·X at different pressure ranges were determined by hydrostatic-pressure spectroscopy to quantitatively afford the binding constant (K anion) and apparent reaction volume changes . The results obtained indicate that hydrostatic pressure as well as solvation plays significant roles in the dynamic control of the present supramolecular system in the ground and excited states. This work will provide a new guideline for further developing hydrostatic-pressure-responsive foldamers and supramolecular materials.
RESUMEN
Dipyrrolylnitrophenols (DPPhs) afforded various hydrogen-bonding-stabilized π-electronic anions upon deprotonation. Through ion-pair metathesis, π-electronic cations were introduced as a counter species to provide π-electronic ion pairs that occurred as tightly bound states in solution while resulting in solid-state charge-by-charge assemblies. The assembling modes were modulated according to the geometries and electronic states of the positively charged constituents along with the substituents of the DPPh anions.
RESUMEN
Cationic BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAH+ s) were synthesized from a nitrogen-containing macrocycle via pyridine-directed tandem C-H borylation. Incorporating BN into PAH+ resulted in a remarkable hypsochromic shift due to an increase in the LUMO energy and the symmetry changes of the HOMO and LUMO. Electrophilic substitution or anion exchange of BN-PAH+ possessing tetrabromoborate as a counter anion (BN+ [BBr4 - ]) afforded air-stable BN-PAH/PAH+ s. Of these, BN+ [TfO- ] allowed reversible two-electron reduction and the formation of two-dimensional brickwork-type π-electronic ion pair with 1,2,3,4,5-pentacyanocyclopentadienyl anion, demonstrating the potential application of BN-PAH+ as electronic materials.
RESUMEN
Dipyrrolyldiketones are essential building units of anion-responsive π-electronic molecules and ion-pairing assemblies. Here, we demonstrated that they form complexes with CuII characterized by planar geometries. The solid-state stacking assembled structures, as revealed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, were modulated by the substitution of pyrrole units. The rectangular shapes of the CuII complexes resulted in the formation of mesophases upon introduction of aliphatic chains.
