Abstract

A tetraphenylethene-based hexacationic triangular macrocycle (T6+·6PF6) was synthesized via the Zincke reaction using an angle-controlled synthesis strategy. Under chemical or electrochemical reduction conditions, T6+·6PF6 can undergo two-step reversible and stable redox transformations, accompanied by a distinct visual color change.
