Abstract

1,4,6,7-Tetramethylquinoxalinium cation radical I represents the essential part of the isoalloxazine p system in N(1), N(5)-diprotonated cationic flavosemiquinones. The low-temp. x-ray crystal structure anal. of the stable radical salt of I with the sterically innocuous triiodide counterion allowed the examn. of intermol. interactions between arom. cation radicals in the solid. Although the planar cations form centrosym. pairs within the crystal lattice, their arrangement is only controlled by packing effects and not by any significant p-p interactions. [on SciFinder(R)]
