The influence of the molecular structure on the stabilization a charged states was studied in detail by in situ ESR UV-vis NIR spectroelectrochemistry at a novel alpha,omega-dicyano substituted beta,beta'-dibutylquaterthiophene (DCNDBQT) and the electrochemically generated cation and anion radicals have been proved for the first time. The voltammetry of DCNDBQT results in two separate oxidation steps with the reversible first one. The experimental absorption maxima at 646 and 1052 nm together with the calculated ones (by DFT method) as well as an ESR signal at the first anodic step prove the presence of a radical cation. Three additional optical bands (554, 906, and 1294 nm for CT-transition) can be attributed to the formation of cation radical dimer. The dicationic structure formed in the second oxidation step is not stable. The stabilization proceeds via a dimer formation in two chemical follow-up reactions. The existence of the dimeric structures was proved by ex situ MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. As the substitution by cyano groups opens the route to cathodic reductions, DCNDBQT shows a single quasi-reversible reduction step. Here, the in situ ESR UV-vis NIR spectroelectrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations let us confirm the electrochemical generation of an anion radical. As we found a low number of anion radicals by quantitative ESR spectroelectrochemistry and an appearance of additional bands in the UV-vis NIR absorption spectra, the formation of dimeric structures must be considered and was corroborated by mass spectrometry. The role of dimerization in the reaction mechanism of the DCNDBQT oxidation and reduction are discussed in general. The experimental results were interpreted using the quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory.
