Douglas Philp, Alexandra M. Z. Slawin, Neil Spencer, J. Fraser Stoddart and David J. Williams


The powerful -electron donor, tetrathiafulvalene, forms a strong green-coloured 1 : 1 complex with the -electron accepting tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(Paraquat-p-phenylene), in both the solid and solution states as demonstrated by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy (NMR and UV–VIS), respectively.
