Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Dipyridylnaphthalene Ligand

A rigid linear ligand linker for MOFs in applications of catalysts and pure white LEDs.

2,6-Di(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalene (DPyN) has a naphthalene with two 4-pyridyl groups at 2,6-positions.

2,6-Di(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalene is synthesised by reacting 2,6-dibromonaphthalene with 4-pyridylboronic acid via Suzuki coupling reaction using tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium as the catalyst.

White-light-emitting systems in water at the single-molecule scale utilizing 2,6-di(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalene core and coumarin pedant groups with natural self-folded conformation can be realized. This particular folding behaviour could enhance the ICT efficiency and lead to pure white-light emission.
