Abstract Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of four donor/acceptor‐fuseds‐indacenes via the late‐stage oxidation of a family of unsymmetrical benzofuran/benzothiophene‐s‐indacene regioisomers. A thorough study of their properties through experimental and computational analysis has revealed the effect of asymmetry on the molecular properties associated with antiaromaticity, as well as a strong correlation between antiaromaticity and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The strength of the charge transfer depends on the fusion orientation of the donor and acceptor motifs relative to thes‐indacene core. The two most antiaromatic oxidized isomers exhibit strong evidence of ICT with 30 and 40 nm solvatochromic shifts.more » « less

We have rationally designed and synthesized a library of phosphaquinolinone derivatives containing various electron-donating and -withdrawing groups on two positions of the scaffold. Distinct trends are observed between the substituents on R 1 and R 2 with both the photophysical properties of the molecules and their dimerization strengths. With withdrawing groups upon the scaffold, dimerization constants surpass 500 M −1 in H 2 O-saturated CDCl 3 . Computational studies on the dimeric structures corroborate the experimental findings.more » « less
