| Summary: | Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have gained significant interest for their
potential application in various fields. Nitrogen doping in carbon-based materials has been
explored to enhance their capabilities. This thesis investigates the advantages of using
bifunctional polycyclic azomethine ylides (PAMYs) to synthesize nitrogen-doped PAHs (NPAHs).
Chapter 1 introduces the research background, highlighting the significance of NPAHs
and the role of PAMYs as building blocks. Chapter 2 explores their application in
polymer synthesis and molecular tweezers. Chapter 3 presents a novel diaza[80]fullerene
fragment with extensive π-conjugation using bifunctional PAMYs, exhibiting selective
association towards C120. Chapter 4 focuses on an S-shaped fused azacorannulene dimer with
a C62N2 core, demonstrating a powerful approach to synthesize π-extended polycyclic
aromatic molecules. |
