Key Points

The research aims to investigate the properties of an [11]CPP modified by a dithiafulvalene moiety.
Synthesis of [11]CPP incorporating a dithiafulvalene moiety
Characterization of the material in neutral and radical cationic forms
Analysis of absorption spectra to assess optical properties
The addition of the dithiafulvalene moiety causes a redshift in the absorption spectrum
Identification of the material's reversible electron donation characteristics
Demonstration of the existence of unpaired electrons in the radical cationic form.

Implication

Research demonstrates altered absorption properties in carbon nanohoops, suggesting potential for advanced electronic applications.

Abstract

Herein we report an [11]CPP incorporating a dithiafulvalene electron donor and its properties in neutral and radical cationic forms. The donor results in a redshifted longest-wavelength absorption band and reversible...
