Abstract: | On the treatment of 1-aryl-2-(2-furyl)-5-(2-thienyl)pyrroles with tetracyanoethylene, 1-aryl-2-(2-thienyl)-5-(5-tricyanoethenyl-2-furyl)pyrroles were produced. These compounds formed crystals with greenish metallic luster. In their solid-state UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflection-absorption spectra, absorption band corresponding to metallic reflection spreads in the range of 550-900 nm. Furthermore, strong absorption appeared below 520-540 nm. This absorption results in the appearance of green color. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the crystal structure of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-thienyl)-5-(5-tricyanoethenyl-2-furyl)pyrrole (2c). The distinct features of the crystal structure are as follows: (1) the thiophene-pyrrole-furan-tricyanoethenyl π-system is approximately flat; (2) the conformational relation between the pyrrole ring and the furan ring is anti, that is, these rings are pointing in opposite directions and the dihedral angle of N-C-C-O=180°; (3) as a result, the tricyanoethenyl group is far from the 4-methoxyphenyl group; (4) the molecules of 2c are arranged in a ribbon structure; (5) the ribbons are assembled side-by-side to form a terraced layer; (6) the layers stack so that the π-orbitals of 2c become close to each other. |
