A stable hexakis(guanidino)benzene: realization of the strongest neutral organic four-electron donor

The growing demand for efficient batteries has stimulated the search for redox-active organic compounds with multistage redox behavior, as materials with large charge capacity. Herein we report the synthesis and properties of the first hexakis(guanidino)benzene derivative: a strong neutral organic e...

Zusammenfassung:The growing demand for efficient batteries has stimulated the search for redox-active organic compounds with multistage redox behavior, as materials with large charge capacity. Herein we report the synthesis and properties of the first hexakis(guanidino)benzene derivative: a strong neutral organic electron donor with reversible multistage redox behavior and a record low redox potential for donation of four electrons. Detailed structural and spectroscopic characterization of three redox states (0, +2, and +4) reveal its unique electronic features. Despite its nitrogen richness, the compound is thermally robust and can be readily purified by sublimation.
