Abstract

A series of benzo[1,2-f:5,4-f′]diquinoline derivatives were synthesized starting from 2,7-diaminoanthracene, and their structures were determined by NMR, MS spectra and X-ray analysis. They showed a remarkably strong intramolecular CH···O hydrogen bond, which resulted in an unexpected downfield chemical shift of the aromatic proton in CDCl3. Moreover, a significant fluorescent change of molecule 1b in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was also observed.
