Abstract

Three diamine compounds with an anthracene bridge were synthesized and characterized, including 1,5-bis(di-p-anisylamine)anthracene (1), 2,6-bis(di-p-anisylamine)anthracene (2) and 9,10-bis(di-p-anisylamine)anthracene (3). The elec-trochemistry, absorption and emission spectra, spectroelectrochemistry, and amine-amine electronic coupling of these compounds were examined. All compounds display two consecutive redox couples in the potential region between +0.6 and +1.0 V vs Ag/AgCl, with a potential splitting △E of around 100 mV. In the one-electron-oxidized state, weak intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) transitions were observed for 1·+ in the near-infrared (NIR) region and the electronic coupling parameter Vab was calculated to be 600 cm-1. In contrast, compound 3·+ displays an intense IVCT band in the NIR region with a Vab value of 1440 cm-1. However, no distinct IVCT band was discernable for 2·+, indicative of an eligible electronic coupling. This work demonstrates that the positions of the amine substituents on the anthracene bridge play a critical role in determining the degree of amine-amine electronic coupling.
