Abstract

Dimesitylbisanthene (1) oxidizes to the corresponding bay region quinone (2) on standing in solutions exposed to air and ambient light. It is anticipated that hydrogen-terminated carbon nanotubes with bay regions on the rim are likely to exhibit even greater sensitivity toward air oxidation.
