Molecular Actuator: Redox-Controlled Clam-Like Motion in a Bichromophoric Electron Donor
摘要:
The one-electron oxidation of tetra methoxydibenzobicyclo[4.4.1]undecane (4) prompts it to undergo a clam-like electromechanical actuation into a cofacially pi-stacked conformer as established by (1) electrochemical analysis, (ii) by the observation of the intense charge-resonance transition in the near IR region in its cation radical spectrum, and (iii) by X-ray crystallographic characterization of the isolated cation radical salt (4(+center dot) SbCl6-).
