Popis: | A new type of redox-responsive molecular rotors (3 2+ /4) possessing a xylyl rotator unit have been designed and synthesized. Reduction of 3 2+ with zinc gave the corresponding cyclization products (4), from which dications (3 2+ ) were regenerated upon oxidation. Cyclic voltammetry also showed the interconversion between 3 2+ and 4. Variable-temperature 1 H NMR measurements revealed that the rotational barriers of the xylyl units in the neutral states (4) are higher than those in the dication states (3 2+ ). |
