Palladium Induced Macrocyclic Preorganization for Stabilization of a Tetrathiafulvalene Mixed-Valence Dimer

초록

Ditopic metalation of a flexible Pacman-like tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) modified Schiff-base-calixpyrrole results in the stabilization upon oxidation of an otherwise difficult-to-access mixed-valence TTF radical dimer. EPR and optical spectroscopies were used to characterize the mixed-valence species.
