Abstract
2,5-Disubstituted 1,4-bis(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzenes have been synthesized, and their electrochemical properties have been studied by cyclic voltammetry, in particular the effect of substituents on the redox characteristics has been examined. The reversible electrochemical redox transformation quinone–biradical of the title compounds occurs at positive potentials.
