Abstract
Three new electroactive ligands, 3a, 3b and 3c, that contain the biphe nyl frameworks in their structure were prepared. These new ligands pre sented three interesting characteristics: 1) they exhibited a reversib le oxidation, 2) the oxidation induced a conformational change in the crown moiety and 3) they had two different coordination centers, the c rown ether and the dimethylamino groups. Electrochemical and spectrosc opic studies using alkali, alkali-earth and mercury salts were carried out. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
