Difluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) containing three to five benzene rings were systematically synthesized by the Pd(II)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization of 1,1,2-trifluoro- and 1,1-difluoro-1-alkenes and the In(III)-catalyzed tandem cyclization of bis(1,1-difluoroallene)s. Using an array of the di-fluorinated PAHs that were obtained and previously reported monofluorinated PAHs, the physical properties of the pinpoint-fluorinated PAHs were investigated. (i) The F-19 NMR signals of the bay-region fluorine atoms were shifted downfield by ca. 8-14 ppm for vic-difluorinated PAHs and ca. 11-19 ppm for non-vic-difludrinated and monofluorinated PAHs. (ii) The introduction of fluorine into PAH molecules increased their solubilities in organic solvents, which was best exemplified by the high solubilities of 6,7-difluoropicene (5.4 wt%) and 6-fluoropicene (5.3 wt%) in THF. (iii) The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of the pinpoint-fluorinated PAHs were smaller than that of the corresponding fluorine-free PAH (i.e., picene) by 0.02-0.26 eV, and the HOMO and LUMO energy levels were lowered by 0.10-0.22 eV and 0.12-0.41 eV, respectively.
