Pyrene molecules containing NBN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been synthesized by a simple and efficient intermolecular dehydration reaction between 1-pyrenylboronic acid and aromatic diamine. Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) with a five-membered NBN ring and pyrene-B (1,8-diaminonaphthalene) with a six-membered NBN ring show differing luminescence. Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) shows concentration-dependent luminescence and enhanced emission after grinding at solid state. Pyrene-B (1,8-diaminonaphthalene) exhibits a turn-on type luminescence upon fluoride ion addition at lower concentration, as well as concentration-dependent stability. Further potential applications of Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) on artificial light-harvesting film were demonstrated by using commercial NiR dye as acceptor.

AbstractNanographenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most important classes of compounds, with potential applications in nearly all areas of science and technology. While the theoretically possible number of nanographene structures is extraordinary, most of these molecules remain synthetically out of reach due to a lack of programmable and diversity-oriented synthetic methods, and their potentially huge structure-property diversity has not been fully exploited. Herein we report a diversity-oriented, growth-from-template synthesis of nanographenes enabled by iterative annulative π-extension (APEX) reactions from small PAH starting materials. The developed dearomative annulative π-extension (DAPEX) reaction enables π-elongation at the less-reactive M-regions of PAHs, and is successfully combined with complementary APEX reactions that occur at K- and bay-regions to access a variety of previously untapped nanographenes.

Topological descriptors are non-empirical graph invariants that characterize the structures of chemical molecules. The structural descriptors are vital components of QSAR/QSPR studies which form the basis for theoretical chemists to design and investigate new chemical structures. Irregularity indices are a class of topological descriptors that have been employed to study certain chemical properties of compounds. This article aims to compute analytical expressions of irregularity indices for three important classes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The intriguing properties of these classes of compounds have several potential applications in wide-raging fields, which warrant a study of their properties from a structural perspective. Additionally, the 3D graphical representations of a few indices are presented, which will aid in analyzing the similarity of behavior among the indices.

Environmental contextRemediation of wastewater containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals is essential to limit adverse effects on the environment and human health. Using a simple precipitation method, we prepared porous magnetic MgO hybrids for use as a material for removing pollutants from wastewater. The material showed excellent removal performance for 12 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and cadmium ions, and thus has potential applications in wastewater treatment. AbstractHierarchical porous magnetic MgO hybrids (Fe3O4/MgO) are controllably synthesised based on a facile precipitation process. The resulting material displays a three-dimensional architecture with nest-like morphology, large surface area (135.2m2 g−1) and uniform mesochannels (5–35nm). The adsorption equilibrium data of target polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Fe3O4/MgO sorbents are described by the Langmuir isotherm model. The composites show a strong tendency for the removal of PAHs owing to their porous structure that possesses an excellent affinity for PAHs. Under the optimal conditions, a removal of more than 70% is achieved for 12 PAHs. The materials also exhibit a good removal ability of cadmium (Cd2+) from water with fast adsorption (<5min) and high removal percentage (>80%). Moreover, the composites possess sufficient magnetism for separation. To demonstrate the performance of the sorbents, Fe3O4/MgO is exposed to aqueous samples spiked with low concentrations of PAHs and Cd2+. In almost all cases, the composites are superior to the commercially available sorbents as well as un-functionalised Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Therefore, this work provides a promising approach for the simultaneous removal of PAHs and Cd2+ from water using multifunctional MgO microspheres.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted enormous interest due to their unique electronic and optoelectronic properties as well as the potential applications in organic electronics. This article reviews the progress in the modern synthesis of large PAHs with different sizes, shapes, edge structures, and substituents. Due to their outstanding self-organization characteristics, the discotic liquid-crystalline properties, self-assembled nanostructures on the surfaces, as well as the application in electronic devices will be discussed.
