Study on Facile Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Solid-State Fluorescence of Dicyclohexane-Annelated Anthracene

Abstract

Abstract Dicyclohexane-annelated anthracene was synthesized by a new efficient method, which employed the Diels–Alder reaction between in situ-generated 2,3-dehydronaphthalene and dicyclohexane-fused furan. The molecule adopted antiparallel face-to-face slipped π-stacking in its crystal structure, which induced an excimer-like emission in the solid state.
