Synthesis, electrochemical properties, and molecular computations of new tris(thienyl)methyl cations
New octupolar bithiophenic methyl rations belonging to the Crystal Violet family are described (see Figure). The synthesis and electrochemical properties of these cations, which should combine the second-order nonlinear optical properties of Crystal Violet with the electrochemical properties of heterocycles, are reported along with the findings from molecular computations.
