Banks P, Dyer A, Whalley A, Ruggiero M
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2022 Oct; 58(92):12803-12806. PMID: 36263488
The role of low-frequency (terahertz) vibrational motions on charge carrier dynamics in organic semiconductors (OSCs) is becoming well-known, and efforts are underway to rationally design new materials to mitigate these...

J Org Chem . 2016 Dec; 81(23):12001-12005. PMID: 27934450
Functionalized derivatives of the saddle-shaped molecule tetrabenzo[8]circulene were successfully synthesized through a Diels-Alder/oxidative cyclodehydrogenation approach. This methodology improves on our previously reported synthesis, affording products containing both electron-rich and electron-poor...

Yuan B, Zhuang J, Kirmess K, Bridgmohan C, Whalley A, Wang L, et al.
J Org Chem . 2016 Aug; 81(18):8312-8. PMID: 27559925
We demonstrate the preparation of diacenaphthopentalene derivatives via a palladium-catalyzed dimerization of 1-iodo-2-arylethynyl-acenaphthylenes. The resulting 7,14-diarylpentaleno[1,2-a:4,5a']diacenaphthylenes, which contain four linearly fused five-membered rings, are benchtop stable and behave as hole-transporting...

Sumy D, Dodge N, Harrison C, Finke A, Whalley A
Chemistry . 2016 Jan; 22(14):4709-12. PMID: 26791961
In this manuscript, we describe the single-step preparation of a cyclic tetramer of acenaphthylene through a Lewis acid-catalyzed aldol cyclization of 1-acenaphthenone. The previously unexplored cyclic tetramer material differs from...

Avestro A, Gardner D, Vermeulen N, Wilson E, Schneebeli S, Whalley A, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2014 Mar; 53(17):4442-9. PMID: 24623608
The controlled self-assembly of well-defined and spatially ordered π-systems has attracted considerable interest because of their potential applications in organic electronics. An important contemporary pursuit relates to the investigation of...

Chemistry . 2014 Mar; 20(13):3705-11. PMID: 24615957
In 1976, the first attempted synthesis of the saddle-shaped molecule [8]circulene was reported. The next 37 years produced no advancement towards the construction of this complicated molecule. But remarkably, over...
