On-Surface Synthesis of [3]Radialenes via [1+1+1] Cycloaddition
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION(2022)
摘要
[3]Radialenes are the smallest carbocyclic structures with unusual topologies and cross-conjugated pi-electronic structures. Here, we report a novel [1+1+1] cycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of aza[3]radialenes on the Ag(111) surface, where the steric hindrance of the chlorine substituents guides the selective and orientational assembling of the isocyanide precursors. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, non-contact atomic force microscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, we determined the atomic structure of the produced aza[3]radialenes. Furthermore, two reaction pathways including synergistic and stepwise are proposed based on density functional theory calculations, which reveal the role of the chlorine substituents in the activation of the isocyano groups via electrostatic interaction.
