Abstract
The charged species of 10H-phenothiazinyl-substituted thiophenes have been investigated by means of combined in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and ultraviolet−visible−near infrared (UV−Vis−NIR) spectroelectrochemistry. The molecular structure of the compounds under study contains one or two phenothiazine moieties, which are connected by various thiophene linkers in the case of the latter. The optical and magnetic properties of the radical cations and dications as well as the information about their stability were provided. The impact of the linker structure on charge localization (on phenothiazine or thiophene moiety) for bis-phenothiazinyl-substituted compounds was investigated. The experimental data were supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which predicted the favored charged structures of the studied compounds.
期刊介绍:
Electrochimica Acta is an international journal. It is intended for the publication of both original work and reviews in the field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry should be interpreted to mean any of the research fields covered by the Divisions of the International Society of Electrochemistry listed below, as well as emerging scientific domains covered by ISE New Topics Committee.
