• bonds in the interdimer region are formed leading to a hexagonal prism shared by the two cages, with significantly larger barriers than in phase 1, and the processes, consequently, slower. Next steps of radical cation dimerization inside the CNT (phase 2), which are under study, combined with new SMART

• attractive wheel–wheel interactions in form of a TTF radical-cation dimerization (TTF●+)2. However, further oxidation leads to the fully oxidized 234+ in which both TTF2+ units repeal each other. The Coulombic repulsion “declutches” the two wheels and they adopt an anti co-conformation. As shown by

• successive intramolecular C–H····F or C–H····Cl hydrogen bonds [70]. Conjugated radical cation dimerization-driven pleated foldamers. The stacking of the radical cations of viologen or TTF were observed in 1964 and 1979 [71][72]. This stacking is typically weak. Several approaches have been developed to
