Inside Cover: A Tetrathiafulvalene‐Functionalized Radiaannulene with Multiple Redox States (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 25/2012)

Abstract

A fused Weitz/Wurster-type redox system … … has been prepared by fusing a central expanded radiaannulene core with two tetrathiafulvalene units. The system formally gains Hückel aromaticity by either oxidation (6p-dithiolium units) or reduction (14p-octadehydroannulene unit) and can exist in several redox states with characteristic UV/Vis/IR absorptions. More about this system can be found in the Communication by M. Brøndsted Nielsen and co-workers on page 6099 ff.
