Reduction of 5 2, with zinc gave the corresponding intramolecular cyclization products (6), which reverted to 5(2+) by oxidation. Cyclic voltammetry also showed the efficient interconversion between both states. X-Ray analyses revealed that the twist angle of the biaryl unit decreases largely by reductive intramolecular cyclization., Article, HETEROCYCLES. 69(1): 365 (2006)}, title = {Synthesis and properties of novel bis(1,3-benzodithiolium)-type dications containing a biaryl unit: New redox systems undergoing reversible structural changes by electron transfer}, volume = {69}, year = {2006} }
