Unexpected synthesis, delayed emission and solid-state acidochromism of novel 2,7-naphthyridine derivatives obtained from 2-(3,5-diaryl-4 H-pyran-4-ylidene)malononitrile

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Oct 12;20(39):7770-7775. doi: 10.1039/d2ob01336c.

Abstract

Two novel 2,7-naphthyridine derivatives are unexpectedly synthesized by the reaction of 2-(3,5-diaryl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)malononitrile and benzylamine, and are achieved through different ring-closing mechanisms. These two derivatives with twisted molecular conformations display phosphorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence, and high contrast solid-state acidochromism due to special chemical structures.
