The effect of ortho-substitution on the efficacy of biphenyls in mediating electron transfer from lithium

A systematic study into the effect of increasing ortho-substitution of a range of biphenyls with respect to their ability to mediate electron transfer from lithium metal is described. A synthetic investigation has demonstrated the requirements for effective mediation. The electrochemical reduction o...
