Synthesis

All reagents and solvents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification except for tetrahydrofuran (THF) that had been distilled over sodium/benzophenone. 1,4-Bis((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)anthracene-2,3-diamine (1) 1,2 was synthesized according to the literature. 1H-NMR (300 MHz) and 13C-NMR (75 MHz) spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX-300 spectrometer at room temperature. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5 FT-IR spectrometer with ATR accessory. Absorption spectra were recorded on a Hitachi U-4100. Emission spectra were recorded on a Hitachi F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer. High resolution mass spectrometry were recorded on a MAT 95 XP mass spectrometer. Melting points were determined with a melting point apparatus MEL-TEMP (Thermo Scientific) and are uncorrected. X-ray intensity data were collected at 120(10) K using a SuperNova, Dual, Cu at zero, Atlas diffractometer (Cu Ka radiation, λ = 1.54184 Å). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were carried out on a CHI 760E Electrochemical workstation (Shanghai, China).

Synthesis of 2: To the mixture of 1 (0.500 g, 0.879 mmol) in CH3COOH (20.0 mL) was added phenanthrene-9,10-dione (0.201 g, 0.965 mmol, 1.10 equivalent) at r.t. The resultant mixture was

heated at 100 °C for 2.5 hours. The mixture was cooled down to r.t. and was added to 200 mL of H2O. The mixture was then filtered and the precipitate was washed with H2O (3x200mL), CH3OH (3x100mL), and dried. The dark-green product 2 (0.321g, 49%) was obtained after column chromatography on silica gel using a Hex:CH2Cl2 (5:1, v/v) solvent mixture. m. p. = 342-344 °C.

Synthesis of 3: To the mixture of 1 (0.500 g, 0.879 mmol) in CH3COOH (25.0 mL) was added 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (0.203 g, 0.966 mmol, 1.10 equivalent) at r.t. The resultant mixture was heated at 100 °C for 2.5 hours. The mixture was cooled down to r.t. and was added to 200 mL of H2O. The mixture was then filtered and the precipitate was washed with H2O (3x200mL), CH3OH (3x100mL), and dried. The dark-green product 3 (0.430g, 66%) was obtained after column chromatography on silica gel using a CH2Cl2:ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v) solvent mixture. m. p. = 350-352 °C.
