Semiquinone-bridged bisdithiazolyls 3 represent a new class of resonance-stabilized neutral radical for use in the design of single-component conductive materials. As such, they display electrochemica
Combining recent concepts from the fields of molecular conductivity and molecular machinery we set out to design a crystalline molecular conductor that also possesses a molecular rotor. We report on t
A multistep synthesis was achieved to obtain 3,8-bis(4-mercaptophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, which has two free thiol end groups with a molecular length of 1.89 nm, and its ruthenium(II) complex. Five
Strapped or “basket-handle” porphyrins have been investigated previously as hemoglobin mimics and catalysts. The facial selectivity of their interactions with axial ligands is a sensitive test for non
Naphthalene was substituted at different positions with two identical triarylamine moieties to result in species which are mixed-valence compounds in their one-electron oxidized forms. They were inves
