Cover Feature: Radical Cation of Tris(Triarylamine) Connected through 1,2,3‐Benzenetriyl Bridge: A Three‐Redox‐Center Organic Mixed‐Valence System (Chem. Eur. J. 19/2025)
The Cover Feature depicts the molecular structure of a tris(triarylamine) radical cation, in which three triarylamine redox-active centers are connected in a side-by-side fashion via a 1,2,3-benzenetriyl bridging unit, and the generated mixed-valence state induces intramolecular electron transfer, like an “electronic” bird flying around the molecule. The process was elucidated by a combination of experimental (optical absorption and ESR spectroscopy) and theoretical (density functional theory calculations) analyses. More information can be found in the Research Article by S. Seki, A. Ito and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202404436).
