    On the Electrochemical Reduction of 4-(Thiazol-2-ylazo)-Substituted 1-Chloronaphthalenes: Formation and Characterization of Stable Radical Anions

    The electrochemical reduction of two chloro-substituted 4-(thiazol-2-ylazo)has been studied by means of spectroelectrochemistry and simulated with the DFT method. Whereas the 1-chloro-4-(4-chlorothiazol-2-ylazo)forms both a stable radical anion and a dianion, the dianion of 1-chloro-4-(thiazol-2-ylazo)is instable. In the radical anion of both compounds, the spin densities are high not only at the azo moiety but also at C3 in the naphthalene and at C5 in the thiazole moiety. This is in agreement with former experimental results demonstrating the remarkable reactivity of these positions towards thiols which can act as nucleophiles as well as electron donors. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    On the Preparation and Spectroelectrochemical Characterization of Certain 2,5-Bis(het)aryl Substituted Thiophenes
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2024) Dmitrieva, Evgenia; Barche, Jens; Popov, Alexey A.; Hartmann, Horst
    In this work, a series of novel 2,5-bis(het)aryl and 2,5-bis-thienyl substituted thiophenes have been synthesized and characterized by ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry. From the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)/UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical data, information about the optical and magnetic properties of the charged species of these compounds have been provided. The spin distributions in the electrochemically generated radical ions were estimated experimentally and compared with theoretical data.
