Facile Synthesis of Hydrogen-Substituted Graphdiyne Powder via Dehalogenative Homocoupling Reaction

Graphdiyne and its analogs are a series of artificial two-dimensional nanomaterials with sp hybridized carbon atoms, which can be viewed as the insertion of two acetylenic units between adjacent aromatic rings, evenly expanded on a flat surface. Although developed in recent years, new synthetic stra...

description Graphdiyne and its analogs are a series of artificial two-dimensional nanomaterials with sp hybridized carbon atoms, which can be viewed as the insertion of two acetylenic units between adjacent aromatic rings, evenly expanded on a flat surface. Although developed in recent years, new synthetic strategies for graphdiyne analogs are still required. This work proposed a new method to prepare hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne powder via a dehalogenative homocoupling reaction. The polymerization was unanticipated while the initial goal was to synthesize a γ-graphyne analog via Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. Compared with previous synthetic strategies, the reaction time was conspicuously shortened and the Pd catalyst was inessential. The powder obtained exhibited a porous structure and high electrocatalytic activity in the hydrogen/oxygen evolution reaction, which has the potential for application in electrochemical catalysis. The reported methodology provides an efficient synthetic strategy for large-scale preparation.
