A NEW BIPYRIDINIUM BIS BENZO CROWN-ETHER LIGAND WHOSE REDOX PROPERTIES ARE DEPENDENT UPON COMPLEXED CATION-INDUCED CONFORMATIONAL SWITCHING EFFECTS

The synthesis, coordination and electrochemical properties of a novel 4,4′-bipyridinium bis benzo-15-crown-5 ligand are described whose group 1, 2 metal and ammonium cation redox-responsive behaviour is dependent upon cation induced conformational switching effects.
