Syntheses of Soluble, π-Stacking Tetracene Derivatives

The syntheses of a series of fluorine- and alkyl/alkoxy-functionalized tetracenes are reported. These functional groups are found to improve
the solubility in common organic solvents and tune molecular arrangement in solids. The crystal packing, electrochemical behavior, and
UV−vis absorbance spectroscopy of these materials are discussed.

本文报道了一系列氟代、烷基/烷氧基官能化并四苯的合成工作。研究发现，此类官能团能够提升目标化合物在常见有机溶剂中的溶解性，并可调控其固态下的分子排布。本文还对该类材料的晶体堆积结构、电化学行为以及紫外-可见（UV−vis）吸收光谱特性进行了讨论。
