Naphthalene‐Mediated Electronic Communication in Tetrakis(imino)pyracene Complexes

A hot tip: Bifunctional tetrakis(imino)pyracene (tip) ligands undergo one‐electron reduction at both diimine functionalities when treated with potassium metal, germanium dichloride, or decamethyleuropocene (see scheme, Cp*=C5Me5). The transferred electrons pair up in an orbital that is delocalized over both diazabutadiene moieties and the naphthalene bridge.
