“…For π‐ or σ‐dimers of both [TCNE] 2 2−[1, 2, 10, 14, 15] and [TCNQ] 2 2− (TCNQ=7,7,8,8‐tetracyano‐ p ‐quinodimethane) composition as well as only π‐[TCNB] 2 2− (TCNB=1,2,4,5‐tetracyanobenzene) and π‐[TCNP] 2 2− (TCNP=1,2,4,5‐tetracyanopyrazine) composition have been reported. π‐[TCNB] 2 2− and π‐[TCNP] 2 2− each have a 2 e − /8c C−C bond and have the identical symmetry ( D 2 h ), size and shape; nonetheless, they have different orientational preferences . To identify new examples of compounds with long, multicenter C−C bonds as well as understand the bonding and conformation/orientational preferences we targeted the preparation of π‐[TCNPy] 2 2− (TCNPy=2,3,5,6‐tetracyanopyridine) that has lower C 2 v symmetry with respect to D 2 h TCNB and TCNP …”
