Popis: Phenanthrylene-ethynylidene macrocycles combining electron donor and electron acceptor subunits in their shape-persistent fully conjugated core were synthesized. The donor subunits consisted of two 9,10-dialkoxyphenanthrenes linked either with 1,2-ethynylidene or 2,5-thienylene bridge. The acceptors were 9,10-phenanthroquinone and dibenzoquinoxaline and dibenzophenazines derived from it. Solvatochromic photoluminescence from intramolecular-charge-transfer (ICT) excited state was observed mainly in non-polar solvents. In more polar solvents, the excited states favor non-radiative relaxation. DFT calculated HOMO/LUMO energies of the macrocycles correlate well with spectroscopic and electrochemical data. In the series of substituted dibenzophenazine acceptors a good correlation with Hammett substituent constants σp– was found.
