Chiral cation-radicals hold significant promise as charge-transfer materials, chiroptical switches, and catalysts for enantioselective synthesis. Herein we identify a chiral anthracene derivative that forms a robust cation-radical salt as established by X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations.

The conformational preference of vicinal or 1,2-phenyl groups is probed in two classes of ring-substituted 1,2-diphenylbicyclooctene (stilbenoid) hydrocarbons 1a-1d and 2a-2c. UV-vis spectroscopy reveals, and X-ray crystallography verifies, the intramolecular (edge-to-face) orientation for the phenyl-phenyl interaction in stilbenoids 1a-1d. Most importantly, when two pairs of ortho-methyl substituents are present, the cofacial phenyl groups in the stilbenoid donors are established by X-ray crystallography and spectrally observed in the cation radicals (2a+.-2c+.) by the appearance of new bands with strong absorptions in the near IR with λmax = 1100-1315 nm, analogous to those previously observed in intermolecular (aromatic) interactions of aromatic cation radicals.Key words: stilbenoid hydrocarbon, cation radical, aryl-aryl interaction.

Stereoisomerization and the unprecedented phenomenon of metal translocation in the absence of redox processes were probed in two inherently chiral bimetallic [2]catenanes by using a combination of variable-temperature 1H NMR and CD spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations.
