Intra- and intermolecular interaction of anthracene moieties in 7,8-disilabicyclo[3.3.0]octadienyl-bridged bisanthracenes

Abstract

Ruthenium-catalyzed dimerization of 9-anthrylarylsilanes afforded air-stable V-shaped bisanthracenes bridged by a 7,8-disilabicyclo[3.3.0]octadiene moiety. The intra- and intermolecular proximity of the anthracene moieties were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Absorption and emission maxima of the disilabicyclo[3.3.0]octadienyl-bridged bisanthracenes in the solution state were observed at longer wavelengths than those of 9-anthryldimethylsilane and bis(9-anthryl)dimethylsilane. The V-shaped bisacenes in the solid state showed excimer emissions with moderate quantum yields.
