Abstract

The synthesis and anodic oxidation of a variety of 2,5-diaryl or dialkynylaryl substituted 1,4-dialkoxybenzenes to quinone bisketals is described. The study of the X-ray structures and electrochemical and spectroscopic properties evidenced that these pairs constitute a first approach to the concept of a molecular nanofuse.
