Conformational changes could be shown to give rise to unusual cyclovoltammograms in the case of 1a and 1b. At low temperatures, compounds 1a and 1b formally show a two-electron transfer; in the case of 1a the rare crossing effect is observed. All other methods of conformation analysis failed in this case.
