Abstract

Electrochemical and spectrophotometric results for the electrode reduction in DMF of the nonalternant hydrocarbon fluorene substituted at one 9 position by a methyl, phenyl, or benzyl group indicate that the radical anion originally produced decomposes to the fluorenyl anion and hydrogen. In the presence of proton donor the parent species is regenerated. If the second 9 position is substituted by a benzyl group the radical anion again yields the ...
