Abstract
In this work, π-extended dihydrophenazine derivatives are exploited to generate redox responsive PIMs. The resulting Phen-PIMs present a high surface area >600 m2 g−1 and a CO2/N2 selectivity up to 49, which upon reversible oxidation exceeds 60.

Abstract
E- vs. Z-azobenzenes engage benzynes in complementary fashion, producing either dihydrophenazine or N-aminocarbazole skeletons, respectively. DFT and experimental mechanistic studies shed light on why.

Abstract
5,10-Dihydrophenazine derivatives were synthesized, exhibiting Janus-type reactivity as both photooxidants and photoreductants. They catalyze oxidative C(sp3)–H cyanation and reductive aryl-halide cleavage, confirming dual redox behavior.

Abstract
This work investigates how dihydrophenazine ligands and their conformational changes affect the assembly of coordination cages. Self-assembly, in turn, can tune the conformation of dihydrophenazine units and their photophysical and redox properties.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a novel π-extended tetra-phenol dihydrophenazine is reported. The derivative was effectively employed as organo-photocatalyst, underlining the great potential of this class of molecules in photocatalysis.
