多蝶烯及其衍生物是一类具有独特三维刚性结构的芳香族化合物,它们由三个以上的独立苯环连接在[2,2,2]双环辛三烯片段上而形成,多蝶烯的概念是对三蝶烯概念的扩展。近年来,由于其特殊的刚性、芳香性以及三维骨架结构,该类化合物引起了人们越来越多的关注,并在超分子化学、材料化学、分子机器等许多领域得到了越来越广泛的应用。本文首先概述多蝶烯、多蝶烯醌及其衍生物的合成,然后重点介绍多蝶烯衍生物在共轭聚合物材料、有机多孔与低介电常数材料、化学传感、单层自组装结构、分子机器以及基于新型合成主体超分子化学等方面的应用研究进展。
Iptycenes and their derivatives are a class of structurally unique compounds consisting of more than three arene units fused together through a bicyclooctatriene framework.Iptycene is also extended triptycene,and it can be named after the number of arene planes separated by a bridgehead system.Pentiptycenes with five arene units are the most common members of iptycenes,and pentiptycene quinones are the most studied iptycene derivatives.Since they possess a rigid,aromatic,and three dimensional scaffold,iptycenes and their derivatives have been found more and more specific applications in supramolecular chemistry,material chemistry,molecular machines,etc.In this review,the synthesis of iptycenes,iptycene quinones and their derivatives is first highlighted,and then the recent progress in the applications of iptycene derivatives in conjugated polymeric materials,organic porous and low dielectric constant materials,chemical sensors,monolayer assemblied structures,molecular machinery,and supramolecular chemistry based on novel synthetic hosts are introduced.
