Site-Specific Reduction-Induced Hydrogenation of a Helical Bilayer Nanographene with K and Rb Metals: Electron Multiaddition and Selective Rb+ Complexation.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The chemical reduction of π-conjugated bilayer nanographene 1 (C138 H120 ) with K and Rb in the presence of 18-crown-6 affords [K+ (18-crown-6)(THF)2 ][{K+ (18-crown-6)}2 (THF)0.5 ][C138 H122 3- ] (2) and [Rb+ (18-crown-6)2 ][{Rb+ (18-crown-6)}2 (C138 H122 3- )] (3). Whereas K+ cations are fully solvent-separated from the trianionic core thus affording a "naked" 1.3 - anion, Rb+ cations are coordinated to the negatively charged layers of 1.3 - . According to DFT calculations, the localization of the first two electrons in the helicene moiety
