Phenylenevinylene oligomers (PVs) have outstanding photophysical characteristics for applications in the growing field of organic electronics. Yet, PVs are also versatile molecules, the optical and physicochemical properties of which can be tuned by manipulation of their structure. We report the synthesis, photophysical, and MS characterization of eight PV derivatives with potential value as electron transfer (ET) matrices for UV-MALDI. UV-vis analysis show the presence of strong characteristic absorption bands in the UV region and molar absorptivities at 355 nm similar or higher than those of traditional proton (CHCA) and ET (DCTB) MALDI matrices. Most of the PVs exhibit non-radiative quantum yields (φ) above 0.5, indicating favorable thermal decay. Ionization potential values (IP) for PVs, calculated by the Electron Propagator Theory (EPT), range from 6.88 to 7.96 eV, making these oligomers good candidates as matrices for ET ionization. LDI analysis of PVs shows only the presence of radical cations (M+.) in positive ion mode and absence of clusters, adducts, or protonated species; in addition, M+. threshold energies for PVs are lower than for DCTB. We also tested the performance of four selected PVs as ET MALDI matrices for analytes ranging from porphyrins and phthalocyanines to polyaromatic compounds. Two of the four PVs show S/N enhancement of 1961% to 304% in comparison to LDI, and laser energy thresholds from 0.17 μJ to 0.47 μJ compared to 0.58 μJ for DCTB. The use of PV matrices also results in lower LODs (low fmol range) whereas LDI LODs range from pmol to nmol. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

The first catalytic dehydrative condensation of the benzylic C-H bonds of toluene and p-xylene with aromatic aldehydes is reported herein. This protocol provides highly atom-economical access to stilbene and p-distyrylbenzene derivatives, whereby water is the sole byproduct. The reaction is based on the deprotonation-functionalization of benzylic C-H bonds through η6-complexation of the arenes, which is realized for the first time using a catalytic amount of a transition metal activator. The key to the success of this method is the use of a sulfonamide anion as a catalyst component, which appears to facilitate not only the deprotonation of the benzylic C-H bonds but also the formation of a C-C bonds via an electrophilic tosylimine intermediate.
