Abstract
AbstractMost redox systems generally cannot avoid the involvement of open‐shell species upon generating multiply charged species, which often reduces reversibility in multi‐color electrochromic systems. In this study, we newly synthesized octakis(aminophenyl)‐substituted pentacenebisquinodimethane (BQD) derivatives and their hybrids with alkoxyphenyl analogues. Thanks to apparent two‐electron transfer accompanied by double dramatic changes in the structure of the arylated quinodimethane skeleton, the dicationic and tetracationic states were generated and isolated quantitatively because of the negligible steady‐state concentration of intermediary open‐shell species such as monocation or trication radicals. When two electrophores with different donating abilities are attached to the BQD skeleton, a dicationic state with a different color can be isolated in addition to the neutral and tetracationic states. For these tetracations, an interchromophore interaction induces a red‐shift of the NIR absorptions, thus realizing tricolor UV/Vis/NIR electrochromic behavior involving only closed‐shell states.
