General description

Anthracene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, is an important moiety in supramolecular chemistry due to its size and shape and photophysical properties. Its closed-shelled Huckel aromatic structure, fluorescence property, well-resolved absorption and emission bands, high fluorescence quantum yield and nanosecond lifetime makes it an ideal organic fluorophore.

Application

Anthracene has been shown to be soluble in a variety of binary and ternary mixtures of cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, and methanol .

Molecular architectures of multi-anthracene assemblies.

Yoshizawa M & Klosterman JK.

Chemical Society Reviews, 43(6), 1885-1898 (2014)

A bowl-shaped organic host using bispyridine ligands: selective encapsulation of carbonyl guests in water.

Kohei Yazaki et al.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 49(16), 1630-1632 (2013-01-23)

A bowl-shaped organic host was prepared by linking two anthracene-embedded bispyridine ligands with two methylene spacers. The water-soluble host has a hemispherical hydrophobic cavity (∼1 nm in diameter) with two cationic methylenebispyridinyl (Lewis acidic) moieties and shows the selective recognition

Dynamic covalent bond based on reversible photo [4 + 4] cycloaddition of anthracene for construction of double-dynamic polymers.

Jiang-Fei Xu et al.

Organic letters, 15(24), 6148-6151 (2013-11-19)

Dynamic covalent bonds supplied by reversible anthracene dimerization were combined with pillar[5]arene/imidazole host-guest interactions to construct double-dynamic polymers. Heating such polymers (in solution or as a gel) led to depolymerization by dissociation of either the host-guest complexes alone or the

Reversible sol-to-gel transformation of uracil gelators: specific colorimetric and fluorimetric sensor for fluoride ions.

Ling-Bao Xing et al.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 29(9), 2843-2848 (2013-02-12)

A new type of anthracene organogelator based on uracil was obtained using organic aromatic solvents, cyclohexane, DMSO, ethanol, and ethyl acetate. It was further characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Specifically, the resulting organogels were demonstrated

Selective, sensitive and reversible "turn-on" fluorescent cyanide probes based on 2,2'-dipyridylaminoanthracene-Cu2+ ensembles.

Yongshu Xie et al.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 48(94), 11513-11515 (2012-10-24)

2,2'-Dipyridylamine and anthracene units were linked to afford highly emissive compounds whose Cu(2+) ensembles were developed as effective fluorescence turn-on CN(-) probes.
