An improved, modular synthesis of rigid, geometrically well-defined, alkyne-substituted tetracene (1) and pentacene (2) dimers is reported. The synthesis is rooted in sequential Diels-Alder reactions of a norbornyl tetraene with triisopropylsilylacetylene-substituted (TIPS-acetylene) quinone dienophiles. The incorporation of solubilizing and stabilizing TIPS-acetylene groups early in the synthesis affords a mild and reliable route, providing access, for the first time, to norbornyl-bridged pentacene dimers. A preliminary exploration of the excited state behavior of these molecules is also described.
