Octahydropyrimido[4,5-g]quinazoline-5,10-diones: their multicomponent synthesis, self-assembly on graphite and electrochemistry.

A green multicomponent synthesis of previously unreported octahydropyrimido[4,5-g]quinazoline-5,6-diones was developed from simple building blocks. These highly symmetrical compounds show strong propensity to self-assembled molecular network (SAMN) formation on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. The SAMN type is easily tunable by changing molecular characteristics. The redox behavior was studied by cyclic voltammetery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
