• 0.15 and 0.24, respectively. Excitation of complexes 1 and 2 at their respective 1MLCT band in deaerated acetonitrile resulted in weak emissions at 693 nm and 755 nm and extended to the near-infrared region. For complexes on the basis of their structureless emission and low fluorescence quantum yields

• electron deficient derivatives, 2 and 3, along with the previously synthesised compounds hexa(2-pyridyl)[3]radialene, hexa(3-pyridyl)[3]radialene, and hexakis(4-cyanophenyl)[3]radialene, show a weak absorption in the near infrared (around 800 nm). This is consistent with spectra observed for the radical

• this respect is the change of temperature. Polymeric materials show a wide range of thermoresponsive effects that can be explored for a discontinuous change of diffusion or reaction rate [1][2][3]. The temperature increase can for example be restricted locally by using near infrared (NIR) irradiation

Potentially useful chromophores for electronic

• )DPP] by Yamamoto coupling of a dibrominated thiophenylDPP derivative such as M-3. An ambipolar near-infrared light-emitting transistor (LET) could be prepared from this material which exhibited hole and electron mobilities of 0.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 and up to 0.09 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. These values were
