Redox Potential Tuning

Herein, we tune the redox potential of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (DPT) by introducing various electron-donating/withdrawing groups (methoxy, t-butyl, H, F, and trifluoromethyl) into its two peripheral benzene rings for use as electrode material in a Li-ion cell. By both the theoretical DFT calculations and the practical cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, it is shown that the redox potentials (E1/2) of the 1,2,4,5-tetrazines (s-tetrazines) have a strong correlation with the Hammett constant of the substituents. In Li-ion coin cells, the discharge voltages of the s-tetrazine electrodes are successfully tuned depending on the electron-donating/withdrawing capabilities of the substituents. Furthermore, it is found that the heterogeneous electron transfer rate (k0) of the s-tetrazine molecules and Li-ion diffusivity (DLi) in the s-tetrazine electrodes are much faster than conventional electrode active materials.

Covalent Interactions

Hydrogen bonds are arguably the most important non-covalent interactions in chemistry and biology, and their strength and directionality have been elegantly exploited in the rational design of complex structures. We recently noted that the variable responses of cyclic π-systems upon H-bond formation reciprocally lead to modulations of the H-bonds’ strengths, a phenomenon that we dubbed (anti)aromaticity-modulated hydrogen bonding (AMHB) [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 3427–3432]. Species that switch from aromatic to antiaromatic or vice versa upon changing π-electron counts should be oppositely stabilized by the AMHB effects, so their redox potentials should be significantly “tuned” by H-bond formation. Herein, using quantum chemical simulations, we explore the effects of these H-bond induced π-electron polarizations on the redox potentials of (anti)aromatic heterocycles. The systems chosen for this study have embedded amide groups and amidine moieties capable of forming two-point H-bonds in their cyclic π-systems. Thus, as the 4-electron and 6-electron π-systems in redox-capable monocycles (e.g., quinones) can be differentially stabilized, their redox potentials can be modulated by H-bond formation by as much as 6 kcal/mol (258 mV for one electron transfer). In fused rings, the connectivity patterns are as important as the π-electron counts. Extending these ideas to flavin, a biologically relevant case, we find that H-bonding patterns like those found in its crystals can vary its redox potential by up to 1.3 kcal/mol.
