Regulation of Bis(triarylamine) Conformation by Auxiliary Ligands in Coordination Polymers for Modulation of Redox-Activity

Abstract

By introducing auxiliary ligands of different lengths, four bis(triarylamine)-based coordination polymers were constructed, and their crystal structures and redox activities were studied. Structural analysis revealed that a higher degree of planarity in bis(triarylamine) units leads to lower oxidation potentials, which may promote the development of electrochromic materials.
