RESUMEN
This study shows the first example of cycloaddition-retro-electrocyclization (CA-RE) click reaction involving nitrogen end-capped push-pull oligoynes. The reported CA-RE reaction with TCNE (tetracyanoethylene) is fully regioselective and leads exclusively to the unprecedented TCBD (tetracyanobuta-1,3-diene-2,3-diyl) end-capped carbon rods. The molecular structure of the products was unambiguously confirmed using X-ray single crystal diffraction and their optical and electronic properties were investigated experimentally and rationalized using DFT (density functional theory) calculations.
