Abstract
Numerous studies have explored the kinetics of light-induced charge separation and thermal charge recombination in donor-acceptor compounds, but quantum efficiencies have rarely been investigated. Here, we report on two essentially isomeric molecular triads, both comprising a π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (ExTTF) donor, a ruthenium(II)-based photosensitizer, and a naphthalene diimide (NDI) acceptor. The key difference between the two triads is how the NDI acceptor is connected. Linkage at the NDI core provides stronger electronic coupling to the other molecular components than connection via the nitrogen atoms of NDI. This change in molecular connectivity is expected to accelerate both energy-storing charge separation and energy-wasting charge recombination processes, but it is not a priori clear how this will affect the triad's ability to store photochemical energy; any gain resulting from faster charge separation could potentially be (over)compensated by losses through accelerated charge recombination. The new key insight emerging from our study is that the quantum yield for the formation of a long-lived charge-separated state increases by a factor of 5 when going from nitrogen- to core-connected NDI, providing the important proof of concept that better molecular connectivity indeed enables more efficient photochemical energy storage. The physical origin of this behavior seems to root in different orbital connectivity pathways for charge separation and charge recombination, as well as in differences in the relevant orbital interactions depending on NDI connection. Our work provides guidelines for how to discriminate between energy-storing and energy-wasting electron transfer reactions in order to improve the quantum yields for photochemical energy storage and solar energy conversion.

Abstract
The activation of N2 , CO2 or H2 O to energy-rich products relies on multi-electron transfer reactions, and consequently it seems desirable to understand the basics of light-driven accumulation of multiple redox equivalents. Most of the previously reported molecular acceptors merely allow the storage of up to two electrons. We report on a terphenyl compound including two disulfide bridges, which undergoes four-electron reduction in two separate electrochemical steps, aided by a combination of potential compression and inversion. Under visible-light irradiation using the organic super-electron donor tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene, a cascade of light-induced reaction steps is observed, leading to the cleavage of both disulfide bonds. Whereas one of them undergoes extrusion of sulfur to result in a thiophene, the other disulfide is converted to a dithiolate. These insights seem relevant to enhance the current fundamental understanding of photochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Multiply aryl/alkyl-substituted pyridines are some of the untapped synthetic targets because of the challenge in regioselectively introducing less polar aryl/alkyl groups at the desired positions in the pyridine framework. Interestingly, the importance of this family of compounds has increased annually, particularly in biological and materials engineering applications. The syntheses of such pyridines have been extensively reported, but there is a lack of comprehensive review articles. Hence, this review discusses recent advances by grouping reaction patterns that generally deliver tri-, tetra-, and penta-aryl/alkyl pyridines.

Abstract
Novel organic redox systems that display multistage redox behaviour are highly sought-after for a series of applications such as organic batteries or electrochromic materials. Here we describe a simple strategy to transfer well-known two-electron redox active bipyridine and phenanthroline architectures into novel strongly reducing four-electron redox systems featuring fully reversible redox events with up to five stable oxidation states. We give spectroscopic and structural insight into the changes involved in the redox-events and present characterization data on all isolated oxidation states. The redox-systems feature strong UV/Vis/NIR polyelectrochromic properties such as distinct strong NIR absorptions in the mixed valence states. Two-electron charge-discharge cycling studies indicate high electrochemical stability at strongly negative potentials, rendering the new redox architectures promising lead structures for multi-electron anolyte materials.

Abstract
Valence tautomerism has had a remarkable impact on several branches of transition metal chemistry. By switching between different valence tautomeric states, physicochemical properties and reactivities can be triggered reversibly. Is this phenomenon transferrable into the p‐block – or is it already happening there? This Perspective collects observations of p‐block element‐ligand systems that might be assignable to valence tautomerism. Further, it discusses occurrences in p‐block element compounds that exhibit the related effect of redox‐induced electron transfer. As disclosed, the concept of valence tautomerism with p‐block elements is at a very early stage. However, given the substantial disparity in the properties of those elements in different redox states, it might offer a valid extension for future developments in main group catalysis.

Abstract
A new method to synthesize γ-carboline derivatives has been developed starting from 3,5-dibromo-4-pyridinamine by monoarylation using the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction followed by the base-mediated ring closure to pyrrole formation. Synthesis of a series of γ-carboline derivations from the 4-brominated γ-carboline 4a has been achieved by employing various coupling reactions and N-alkylations. This method has been applied for the synthesis of the antimalarial and anticancer natural product isocryptolepine. The photophysical properties of novel γ-carboline derivations are also reported.

Abstract
The synergistic functioning of redox-active components that emerges from prototypical 2,2'-di(N-methylpyrid-4-ylium)-1,1'-biphenyl is described. Interestingly, even if a trans conformation of the native assembly is expected, due to electrostatic repulsion between cationic pyridinium units, we demonstrate that cis conformation is equally energy-stabilized on account of a peculiar LUMO (SupLUMO) that develops through space, encompassing the two pyridiniums in a single, made-in-one-piece, electronic entity (superelectrophoric behavior). This SupLUMO emergence, with the cis species as superelectrophore embodiment, originates in a sudden change of electronic structure. This finding is substantiated by insights from solid state (single-crystal X-ray diffraction) and solution (NOE NMR and UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry) studies, combined with electronic structure computations. Electrochemistry shows that electron transfers are so strongly correlated that two-electron reduction manifests itself as a single-step process with a large potential inversion consistent with inner creation of a carbon-carbon bond (digital simulation). Besides, absence of reductive formation of dimers is a further indication of a preferential intramolecular reactivity determined by the SupLUMO interaction (cis isomer pre-organization). The redox-gated covalent bond, serving as electron reservoir, was studied via atropisomerism of the reduction product (VT NMR study). The overall picture derived from this in-depth study of 2,2'-di(N-methylpyrid-4-ylium)-1,1'-biphenyl proves that trans and cis species are worth considered as intrinsically sharply different, that is, as doubly-electrophoric and singly-superelectrophoric switchable assemblies, beyond conformational isomerism. Most importantly, the through-space-mediated SupLUMO may come in complement of other weak interactions encountered in Supramolecular Chemistry as a tool for the design of electroactive architectures.

Abstract
In this work we present the solution‐synthesis of pyridine analogues to hexa‐peri‐hexabenzocoronene (HBC)—which might be called superpyridines—via a novel precursor design. The key step in our strategy was the pre‐formation of the C−C bonds between the 3/3’ positions of the pyridine and the adjacent phenyl rings—bonds that are otherwise unreactive and difficult to close under Scholl‐conditions. Apart from the synthesis of the parent compound we show that classical pyridine chemistry, namely oxidation, N‐alkylation and metal‐coordination is applicable to the π‐extended analogue. Furthermore, we present basic physical chemical characterizations of the newly synthesized molecules. With this novel synthetic strategy, we hope to unlock the pyridine chemistry of nanographenes.

Abstract
Nickel(I) metalloradicals bear great potential for the reductive activation of challenging substrates but are often too unstable to be isolated. Similar chemistry may be enabled by nickel(II) hydrides that store the reducing equivalents in hydride bonds and reductively eliminate H2 upon substrate binding. Here we present a pyrazolate-based bis(β-diketiminato) ligand [LPh]3- with bulky m-terphenyl substituents that can host two Ni-H units in close proximity. Complexes [LPh(NiII-H)2]- (3) are prone to intramolecular reductive H2 elimination, and an equilibrium between 3 and orthometalated dinickel(II) monohydride complexes 2 is evidenced. 2 is shown to form via intramolecular metal-metal cooperative phenyl group C(sp2)-H oxidative addition to the dinickel(I) intermediate [LPhNiI2]- (4). While NiI species have been implicated in catalytic C-H functionalization, discrete activation of C-H bonds at NiI complexes has rarely been described. The reversible H2 and C-H reductive elimination/oxidative addition equilibrium smoothly unmasks the powerful 2-electron reductant 4 from either 2 or 3, which is demonstrated by reaction with benzaldehyde. A dramatic cation effect is observed for the rate of interconversion of 2 and 3 and also for subsequent thermally driven formation of a twice orthometalated dinickel(II) complex 6. X-ray crystallographic and NMR titration studies indicate distinct interaction of the Lewis acidic cation with 2 and 3. The present system allows for the unmasking of a highly reactive [LPhNiI2]- intermediate 4 either via elimination of H2 from dihydride 3 or via reductive C-H elimination from monohydride 2. The latter does not release any H2 byproduct and adds a distinct platform for metal-metal cooperative two-electron substrate reductions while circumventing the isolation of any unstable superreduced form of the bimetallic scaffold.

Abstract
The development of new solar-to-fuel scenarios is of great importance, but the construction of molecular systems that convert sunlight into chemical energy represents a challenge. One specific issue is that the molecular systems have to be able to accumulate redox equivalents to mediate the photodriven transformation of relevant small molecules, which mostly involves the orchestrated transfer of multiple electrons and protons. Disulfide/dithiol interconversions are prominent 2e-/2H+ couples and can play an important role for redox control and charge storage. With this background in mind, a new photosensitizer [Ru(S-Sbpy)(bpy)2]2+ (12+) equipped with a disulfide functionalized bpy ligand (S-Sbpy, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) was synthesized and has been comprehensively studied, including structural characterization by X-ray diffraction. In-depth electrochemical studies show that the S-Sbpy ligand in 12+ can be reduced twice at moderate potentials (around -1.1 V vs Fc+/0), and simulation of the cyclic voltammetry (CV) traces revealed potential inversion (E2 > E1) and allowed to derive kinetic parameters for the sequential electron-transfer processes. However, reduction at room temperature also triggers the ejection of one sulfur atom from 12+, leading to the formation of [Ru(Sbpy)(bpy)2]2+(22+). This chemical reaction can be suppressed by decreasing the temperature from 298 to 248 K. Compared to the archetypical photosensitizer [Ru(bpy)3]2+, 12+ features an additional low energy optical excitation in the MLCT region, originating from charge transfer from the metal center to the S-Sbpy ligand (aka MSCT) according to time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Analysis of the excited states of 12+ on the basis of ground-state Wigner sampling and using charge-transfer descriptors has shown that bpy modification with a peripheral disulfide moiety leads to an energy splitting between charge-transfer excitations to the S-Sbpy and the bpy ligands, offering the possibility of selective charge transfer from the metal to either type of ligands. Compound 12+ is photostable and shows an emission from a 3MLCT state in deoxygenated acetonitrile with a lifetime of 109 ns. This work demonstrates a rationally designed system that enables future studies of photoinduced multielectron, multiproton PCET chemistry.

Abstract
A massive structural change accompanies electron capture by the 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane cage molecule (1). Bimolecular electron transfer (ET) by pulse radiolysis found a reduction potential of E0 = -1.92 V vs Fc+/0 for 1 and rate constants that slowed greatly for ET to or from 1 when the redox partner had a potential near this E0. Similarly, two electrochemical techniques could detect no current at potentials near E0, finding instead peaks or polarographic waves near -3.1 V, which is 1.2 V more negative than E0. Voltammetry could determine rate constants, but only near -3.1 V. DigiSim simulations can describe the irreversible voltammograms but require electrochemical rate constants near 1 × 10-10 cm/s at E0, a factor of 10-10 relative to molecules undergoing facile ET. This factor of 10-10 compared to ∼10-5 for bimolecular ET presents a puzzle. This puzzle can be understood as a manifestation of one of the "Frumkin Effects" in which only part of the applied voltage is available to drive ET at the electrode.

Abstract
Three new linearly arranged bichromophoric systems 1-3 have been prepared, and their photophysical properties have been studied, taking also advantage of femtosecond pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. The three compounds contain the same chromophores, that is a Ru(II)-terpy-like species and a fused expanded bipyridinium (FEBP) unit, separated by three different, variously methylated biphenylene-type bridges. The chromophores have been selected to be selectively addressable, and excitation involving the Ru-based or the FEBP-based dyes results in different excited-state decays. Upon Ru-based excitation at 570 nm, oxidative photoinduced electron transfer (OPET) takes place in 1-3 from the 3MLCT state; however, the charge-separated species does not accumulate, indicating that the charge recombination rate constant exceeds the OPET rate constant. Upon excitation of the organic dye at 400 nm, the FEBP-based 1π-π* level is prepared, which undergoes a series of intercomponent decay events, including (i) electron-exchange energy transfer leading to the MLCT manifold (SS-EnT), which successively decays according to 570 nm excitation, and (ii) reductive photoinduced electron transfer (RPET), leading to the preparation of the charge-separated (CS) state. Reductive PET, involving the FEBP-based singlet state, is much faster than oxidative PET, involving the MLCT triplet state, essentially because of driving force reasons. The rate constant of CR is intermediate between the rate constants of OPET and RPET, and this makes 1-3 capable to selectively read the 400 nm excitation as an active input to prepare the CS state, whereas excitation at wavelengths longer than 480 nm is inefficient to accumulate the CS state. Moreover, intriguing differences between the rate constants of the various processes in 1-3 have been analyzed and interpreted according to the superexchange theory for electron transfer. This allowed us to uncover the role of the electron-transfer and hole-transfer superexchange pathways in promoting the various intercomponent photoinduced decay processes occurring in 1-3.

Abstract
Adsorption properties of a series of redox-active expanded pyridinium molecules were studied at an electrified interface by cyclic and alternating current voltammetry methods. It was shown that the adsorbed state can sufficiently block N-pyramidalization of the pyridinium redox center of 2',6'-diphenyl-[4,1':4',4''-terpyridin]-1'-ium tetrafluoroborate (2), leading to a change of the mechanism from a single two-electron-transfer process to stepwise transfer of two electrons. Chemically locked molecules 1, 9-(pyridin-4-yl)benzo[ c]benzo[1,2]quinolizino[3,4,5,6- ija][1,6]naphthyridin-15-ium tetrafluoroborate (ring fusion), and 3, 3,5-dimethyl-2',6'-diphenyl-[4,1':4',4''-terpyridin]-1'-ium tetrafluoroborate (steric hindrance) do not enable N-pyramidalization of the redox center upon electron transfer (ET) and serve as references. It was shown that 1 follows Langmuir-type adsorption around a potential of zero charge and that 1-3 form a close-packed film with some repulsive interactions between individual molecules at potentials where ET takes place. It has been suggested that all three molecules lie flat on the electrode surface, with the lowest free energy of adsorption found for 2. Maximum surface concentration Γ* equal to (1.4 ± 0.1) × 10-10 mol·cm-2 was found for 1, (1.5 ± 0.1) × 10-10 mol·cm-2 for 2, and (1.6 ± 0.1) × 10-10 mol·cm-2 for 3. These findings will help to clarify the role of molecular contacts with conducting substrate in the single-molecule electron-transport measurements of 1-3 during the metal-molecule-metal junction formation process.

Abstract
Photoinduced multielectron transfer and reversible accumulation of redox equivalents is accomplished in a fully integrated molecular heptad composed of four donors, two photosensitizers, and one acceptor. The second reduction of the dibenzo[1,2]dithiin acceptor occurs more easily than the first by 1.3 V, and this potential inversion facilitates the light-driven formation of a two-electron reduced state with a lifetime of 66 ns in deaerated CH3CN. The quantum yield for formation of this doubly charge-separated photoproduct is 0.5%. In acidic oxygen-free solution, the reduction product is a stable dithiol. Under steady-state photoirradiation, our heptad catalyzes the two-electron reduction of an aliphatic disulfide via thiolate-disulfide interchange. Exploitation of potential inversion for the reversible light-driven accumulation of redox equivalents in artificial systems is unprecedented and the use of such a charge-accumulated state for multielectron photoredox catalysis represents an important proof-of-concept.

Abstract
Methylviologen (MV2+) is perhaps the most used component as a reversible electron acceptor in photophysical studies. While MV2+ is most commonly implicated as a reversible one-electron mediator, its electrochemical properties clearly evidence two successive one-electron reduction processes. In this report, we have investigated on the light driven two-charge accumulation on MV2+ using a multicomponent system composed of the prototypical molecular photosensitizer [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and MV2+ in the presence of ascorbate as reversible electron donor. The sequential addition of two electrons on the methylviologen was tracked upon sequential excitation of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ at optimized concentration of the electron acceptor. The charge accumulated state carries an energy of 0.9 eV above the ground state and has a lifetime of ca. 50 μs. We have reached a fairly good global yield of approximately 9% for the two-charge accumulation. This result clearly demonstrates the potential of this simple approach for applications in artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
We present here the efficient microwave-assisted synthesis and photophysical study of a family of ruthenium(II) complexes of the general formula [Ru(bpy)x(qpy)3-x]2+ (where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, qpy = 4,4':2',2″:4″,4‴-quaterpyridine, and x = 0, 1, 2 giving compounds 1 = [Ru(bpy)2(qpy)1]2+, 2 = [Ru(bpy)1(qpy)2]2+, and 3 = [Ru(qpy)3]2+). Compared to the standard reference, [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (τ = 870 ns, Φ = 9.5%), the complexes display longer-lived excited state lifetimes at room temperature (τ: 1 = 1440 ns, 2 = 1640 ns, 3 = 1780 ns) and improved quantum yields (Φ: 1 = 14%, 2 = 19%, 3 = 23%). Theoretical calculations were performed to support the interpretation of these photophysical properties. These complexes are excellent photosensitizers as they absorb light throughout the visible spectrum, have excellent excited state lifetimes at room temperature, and have high quantum yields. In combination with a cobalt dimethylglyoxime catalyst, they exhibit remarkable hydrogen evolution with blue light, and they are far more efficient than the reference in the field, [Ru(bpy)3]2+.
