Key Points

The addition of multiple methyl groups turns non-emissive [6]cyclingparaphenylene into a fluorescent compound, enhancing its light-emitting properties.
Dodecamethyl[6]CPP was successfully synthesized using a gold-based macrocyclization method, demonstrating a significant alteration in properties.
This method highlights a promising avenue for developing fluorescent compounds from previously non-emissive materials.
Fluorophore characteristics were established, bolstering the understanding of structure-property relationships in cycloparaphenylenes.

Implication

This research uncovers how dodecamethyl[6]cycloparaphenylene shows fluorescence, suggesting a novel method for enhancing light emission.

Abstract

We report the unexpected discovery that non-emissive [6]cycloparaphenylene ([6]CPP) can be made fluorescent by multiple additions of simple methyl groups. Dodecamethyl[6]CPP (Me 12 [6]CPP) was synthesized using a gold-based macrocyclization method and...
