Abstract

Four novel functional conjugated tetraarylamines containing a tetraphenylenecore were synthesized via Ni-catalyzed aryl amination followed by McMurry olefination. Their electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry, coulometry, and electrolysis monitored by UV–vis spectroscopy, and discussed with regard to those of the known tetrakis (dimethylaminophenyl) ethane.
