| The design, synthesis, and properties of diarlymethanes, poly(diarylmethanes), and cyclic arylmethanes will be presented. The electrochemistry of linear versus cyclic systems is found to be profoundly different, and may be explained by reversible redox-induced carbon-carbon bond formation occurring in the linear systems, and attainment of an aromatic electron count occurring in the cyclic systems. Potential applications build from their reversible, redox-switchable properties, and will be discussed. |
