Guanidinyl-Functionalized Aromatic Compounds (GFAs) - Charge and Spin Density Studies as Starting Points for the Development of a New Class of Redox-active Ligands

This research report is devoted to guanidinyl-functionalized aromatic compounds (GFAs), which represent a new class of strong electron donors and redox-active ligands. Charge and spin density studies provided the basis for the development of a rich coordination chemistry, which includes molecular complexes as well as 1D coordination polymers.
