Preparation and novel one-electron redox reactions of a new stable 4,7-diisopropylbenzo[1,2-d][1,2,3]triselenole and its radical cation salt

Abstract

Stable benzene-fused triselenide compounds, 4,7-diisopropylbenzo[1,2-d][1,2,3]triselenole 2 and its radical cation salt, 4,7-diisopropylbenzo[1,2-d][1,2,3]triselenolium hexafluorophosphate 3, are prepared and undergo novel one-electron redox reactions.
