Angle-controlled synthesis and redox properties of a tetraphenylethene-based hexacationic triangular macrocycle
A tetraphenylethene-based hexacationic triangular macrocycle (T<sup>6+</sup>·6PF<sub>6</sub><sup>-</sup>) was synthesized <i>via</i> the Zincke reaction using an angle-controlled synthesis strategy. Under chemical or electrochemical reduction conditions, T<sup>6+</sup>·6PF<sub>6</sub><sup>-</sup> can undergo two-step reversible and stable redox transformations, accompanied by a distinct visual color change.
