Geodesic‐Planar Conjugates: Substituted Buckybowls—Synthesis, Photoluminescence and Electrochemistry

C−C cross coupling products of bowl‐shaped as‐indaceno[3,2,1,8,7,6‐pqrstuv]picene (Idpc) and different planar arenes and ethynyl‐arenes were synthesized. Photoluminescence as well as electrochemical properties of all products were investigated and complemented by time‐dependent quantum chemical calculations. UV/Vis spectroelectrochemistry investigations of the directly linked (Idpc)(2) indicated the absence of any intramolecular charge‐transfer transition of intermittently formed (Idpc)(2) (.−). All coupling products showed fluorescence. Ferrocene‐1‐yl‐Idpc was structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction and is a rare example of a ferrocene‐containing buckybowl exhibiting luminescence.
