Organometallic Molecular Trees as Multielectron and Multiproton Reservoirs: CpFe⁺‐Induced Nonaallylation of Mesitylene and Phase‐Transfer Catalyzed Synthesis of a Redox‐Active Nonairon Complex

Generation-Dependent Intramolecular CT Complexation in a Dendrimer Electron Sponge Consisting of a Viologen Skeleton

“…[8±11] The resulting dendritic effects concern redox protein mimetics, [3] redox gradients, [11] charge transfer (CT) complex-based conductivity, [7] electron sponges, [4] and redox sensors. [12] We present here a new homologous series of electroactive dendrimers belonging to class (c).…”

Star-Shaped Polyaromatic Ethers Coordinated to Redox-Active Cyclopentadienyliron Moieties

“…The residue was redissolved in dichloromethane, and diethyl ether was added to promote precipitation of the complex. Data obtained from the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of complex 5 b is provided as a representative example. 5 b.…”

A Redox-Controlled Molecular Switch Based on the Reversible C−C Bond Formation in Octamethoxytetraphenylene

“…[4] One of the approaches in designing such materials is to exploit electronic interactions in macrocyclic or supramolecular assemblies consisting of multiple redox-active components. [5] We now introduce a methoxylated tetraphenylene derivative as a potential molecular switch based on its dramatic color change upon the application of an electrical potential.…”
