Abstract
- A small macrocycle comprising ether‐bridged naphthyl units was prepared in a two‐step synthesis. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction of two polymorphs are reported, one of which showed multiple C−H⋅⋅⋅πnaphthyl interactions of a solvent molecule in the cavity of the macrocycle. Chemical reduction led to C−O bond cleavages accompanied by a Z/E isomerization. The resulting twofold negatively charged (E)‐1,2‐bis(2‐naphthyl)ethylene fragment was isolated as its potassium salts. Electronic characterization revealed a singlet ground state, and a marked distortion of the central ethylene unit was observed upon electron uptake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
