Synthesis of Naphthobisbenzothoiphene Diimides: Developed a novel synthetic method for electronic-deficient π-conjugated molecules, which were fully characterized by NMR, UV-Vis, CV, MALDI-TOF. The single crystal structures were systematically investigated. (Org. Lett.)
A Series of Molecules with Linearly Correlated LUMO Levels: Systematically investigated the optical, electrochemical properties and single-crystal structures that influenced by the incorporation of CN groups in PDIs system. Using column chromatography and HPLC for purification, using TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, AFM for characterization. (Org. Lett.)
Air-stable Near-infrared Spectroscopy Tetracene Diimides: Developed NIR tetracene diimides via one-pot double cross-coupling reaction. (J. Am. Chem. Soc.)
Hybrid Rylene Arrays: Prepared a new family of hybrid rylene arrays via a combination of Stille coupling and C–H transformation. (J. Am. Chem. Soc.)
Chiral Nanoribbons: Chiral ladder-type nanoribbons based on doubly linked oligo-PBIs simply synthesized by Ullmann coupling reaction.
