Cleavage of non-polar C(sp 2)‒C(sp 2) bonds in cycloparaphenylenes via electric field-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution
Novel methodologies for cleaving inherently inert C(sp 2)‒ C(sp 2) bonds are desirable. Here, the authors report the use of an oriented electric field to cleave C(sp 2)‒ C(sp 2) in cycloparaphenylenes via electrophilic aromatic substitution.
