Graphical Abstract
  • fluorinated benzils to emit phosphorescence, which may arise from immediate spin-orbit coupling involving the 1(n, π)→3(π, π) transition, unlike the case of fluorinated or nonfluorinated bisbenzil analogues. These findings offer a useful guide for developing novel pure organic room-temperature phosphorescent

The bisbenzil derivatives, i.e., 3a–c, also show similar PL behavior to the aforementioned benzil analogues: four PL bands with λPL of 393–397, 406–412, 514–517, and 551–569 nm are observed. To gain more information about the PL process in benzils and bisbenzils, the PL spectra

  • convert aldehydes to nucleophilic species, which react with activated alkenes to yield hydroacylation products [10][11][12][13][14]. When the carbonyl compounds I other than aldehyde behave similarly, functionalized 1,4-diketones IV would be produced (Scheme 1). Previously, we reported that benzils I (G

Moreover, if the reaction of cyclic 1,2-diketone I (G = C(O)R1) with activated alkenes may take place similarly, this reaction could be utilized as a
