Abstract:
Chapter 1 introduces two series of novel polyphenylene molecules with inherent ligand
functionality. These are prepared via a sequence of Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions
and [2+4] Diels-Alder cycloadditions and are fully characterised by NMR spectroscopy
and analytical methods. The first series are asymmetric oligophenylene-substituted
bipyridines, in which the polyaryl pendant is systematically increased in size, from a single
phenyl-acetylene to a dendritic penta-phenyl benzene. The second ligand series represents
a family of acetylene-functionalised hexaphenylbenzene molecules, from a single
acetylene substituent to ortho and para configured di-ethynyl units. The alkynyl
substituent allows an extension of π-electron delocalisation.
