• substantial changes in the HOMO–LUMO gap that correlated with the extent of conjugation found experimentally. The results of this work are expected to open up for use of the investigated compounds as components of redox-active materials in sustainable, organic electrical energy storage devices. Keywords

• -(2,5-dimethoxyphenethyl)-1H-pyrrole) have no conjugation, with HOMO–LUMO gaps similar to DMB (p-dimethoxybenzene). These compounds should be interesting as components of redox active materials, as we have recently shown in the synthesis of conducting redox polymers for use as the active material in
