P(O, S, Se, and Te)–π(Ar) Conjugations as Factors to Control Fine Structures of 1-(Chalcogena)naphthalenes

The p(Z)–π(Ar) conjugation as the factors to control the fine structures of organic chalcogen compounds are investigated. The structures of 1-(arylchalcogena)naphthalenes [1-(p-YC6H4Z)C10H7, 1-ArZNap; 1 (Z = O) and 2 (Z = S)] are determined by the X-ray crystallographic analysis. The structures of 1, 2, and 1-ArTeNap (4) are also determined in solutions, together with 1-ArSeNap (3), employing the NMR data of 9-(arylselanyl)anthracenes (5) and...
