N,N'-dicyano-p-acepleiadylenequinonediimine and its 1,2-dibromo derivative: New DCNQI type acceptors and their conducting complexes
N,N'-Dicyano-p-acepleiadylenequinonediimine (DCNAPQ-DI) and its 1,2-dibromo derivative (Br-2-DCNAPQ-DI), a new family of acepleiadylene-based DCNQI type electron acceptors have been synthesized. Br-2-DCNAPQDI exhibiting the first half-wave reduction potential of -0.03 V vs SCE afforded a fairly high conducting Cu salt.
