Abstract

The redox chemistry of π-extended squaraines is investigated using cyclic voltammetry, in-situ spectroelectrochemistry and quantum chemical calculations. Squaraine 1 is reversibly oxidized to the radical cation and dication whereas reduction shows limited electrochemical but fully chemical reversibility. The radical cation of 1 reveals absorption bands at 1000 nm and a "two-band feature" at 1600 nm. Their implications on the intramolecular electron transfer are discussed.
