Abstract
The purpose of this Account is to present the results of our systematic study on the synthesis of a series of cyclic π-conjugated systems with the monocyclic six-membered to eight-membered rings as well as polycyclic aromatic compounds, which are fully surrounded by rigid bicyclic σ-frameworks. This structural modification is characteristic in causing elevation of the HOMO levels of neutral π-systems and remarkably stabilizing the corresponding cationic systems by both thermodynamic and kinetic effects. In order to minimize the possible steric strain in π-systems, the relatively strain-free bicyclic system, i.e., bicyclo[2.2.2]octene, was chosen for the structural modification of all the cyclic π-systems, and the successful generation of the cationic species such as radical cation, closed-shell mono- and dications, which are so stable to allow even the X-ray structural analysis, is demonstrated.
