An aryl-fused redox-active tetrathiafulvalene with enhanced mixed-valence and radical-cation dimer stabilities.
Molecular recognition of stable organic radicals is a relatively novel, but important structural binding motif in supramolecular chemistry. Here, we report on a redox-switchable veratrole-fused tetrathiafulvalene derivative VTTF which is ideally suited for this purpose and for the incorporation into stimuli-responsive systems. As revealed by electrochemistry, UV/Vis measurements, X-ray analysis, and electrocrystallisation, VTTF can be reversibly oxidised to the corresponding radical-cation or dication which shows optoelectronic and structural propterties similar to tetrathiafulvalene and tetrakis(methylthio)tetrathiafulvalene. However, theoretical calculations, variable temperature EPR, and…
Chiroptical inversion of a planar chiral redox-switchable rotaxane.
Reversible redox-switching of a planar chiral [2]rotaxane with a tetrathiafulvalene-bearing crown ether macrocycle generates a complete sign reversal of the main band in the ECD spectrum, as shown by experiment and rationalised by DFT calculations.
