    Conformational Flexibility of Fused Tetracenedione Propellers Obtained from One-Pot Reductive Dimerization of Acetylenic Quinones

    No full text
    Reductive dimerization of acetylenic anthraquinones provides synthetic access to flexible nonplanar polyaromatics with a tetracenedione core. In solution, these nonplanar, contorted polycycles exist as equilibrating mixtures of two symmetric conformers. The fused tetracenediones are easily reduced and exhibit rich electrochemical behavior
