摘要
We have investigated the impact of the functionalization and the chemical nature of counterions on the pi-dimer dications formation in two end-capped heptathienoacenes. Radical cations of an alpha-substituted heptathienoacene with triisopropylsilyl groups do not pi-dimerize, while those of an alpha,beta-substituted heptathienoacene with four n-decyl side chains show a high propensity toward pi-dimerization, increased by PF(6)(-) counterions.
