One of the interests in our laboratory lies in the preparation and study of viologens and their derivatives. Derived from, 4,4’-bipyridine, viologens are an interesting and potentially useful class of organic cations. The object of this project is to continue to develop simple and robust synthetic methodology toward the preparation of viologen building blocks to construct oligoviologens with diverse caps. Here we present a family of oligoviologens of the type 1, in which the ends are designed to interact with one another.
