Synthesis and properties of partially overlapped [3.n](3,9)carbazolophanes
Cyanamide- andoxa-bridged [3.n](3,9)carbazolophanes 1n and 2n (n = 4 and 5) were synthesized. X-ray analysis Of 14 and 25 revealed that carbazole rings are taken to be partially overlapped geometry. Electronic spectra of 1n and 2n (n = 4 and 5) showed the existence of transannular pi-pi electronic interaction between two carbazole rings, whereas fluorescence of these carbazolophanes indicated monomer-like emission.
