Abstract

The synthesis of some novel dicationic acridinophanes has been achieved via an N-alkylation route using benzimidazole, imidazole and benzotriazole as building units. UV-Visible studies revealed the absence of ground-state charge-transfer interactions between the acridine and imidazolium moieties. Electrochemical studies showed that the imidazolium and acridine units modify the characteristic redox properties of dicationic acridinophanes.
