Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The efficient methodology of the cycloaddition between electron-rich alkynes and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) or 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), followed by retro-electrocyclisation, is extended to dicyanovinyl derivatives to produce new donor-acceptor push-pull 1,1-dicyanobutadienyl chromophores in excellent to quantitative yield (63-98%) that express strong charge-transfer (CT) absorptions from 300 to 600 nm. The scope of this reaction is established by both varying the nucleophilic and electrophilic components. Electrochemical studies show that the CT properties of these systems are readily tunable by substitution on the electrophile, which has the largest effect on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Non-reversible reduction potentials range from ca.-1.2 to -1.9 V in CHCl, against the ferricinium/ferrocene couple (Fc/Fc) according to cyclovoltammetry (CV) and rotating disk voltammetry (RDV). The chromophores show a significant non-planarity between the N,N-dimethylanilino donor and the 1,1-dicyanovinyl acceptor moieties, with torsional angles around 40° from X-ray analysis, but retain strong quinoidal character. The mechanism of this reaction has been studied computational using density functional methods in the gas-phase and using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for addressing solvent effects. The complete reaction free-energy profile has been determined for the reaction of 1,1-dicyanoethene and 4-ethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline. The process proceeds through formal [2+2] cycloaddition followed by retro- electrocyclisation. The formation of a zwitterionic intermediate in the cycloaddition step is shown. © 2009 The Royal Societ of Chemistry.
