The effects of Li(+) and Mg(2+) on the electrochemical behaviour and photoreduction of N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)naphthalene diimide (Dipp2NDI) have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy. Strong cation-anion interactions between Li(+) or Mg(2+) and [Dipp2NDI](2-) result in solvent-dependent anodic shifts of the NDI˙(-/2-) redox couple. In organic solvents of moderate dielectric constant and donor ability, the two, one-electron redox processes typically observed for Dipp2NDI merge into a single, two-electron process. This strong metal cation effect has been leveraged for the photoreduction of Dipp2NDI to [Dipp2NDI](2-)via a disproportionation process. Chemical reduction of Dipp2NDI with iPrMgCl has allowed the isolation of Mg(2+) complexes of [Dipp2NDI](2-). Single crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine the structure of a dimeric complex, [(Dipp2NDI)Mg2(THF)3]2, that features strong coordination of Mg(2+) by the oxygen atoms of the reduced NDI.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 June 2017.
All research outputs
#23,302,843
of 34,372,222 outputs
Outputs from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#10,457
of 24,753 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#296,676
of 462,449 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#509
of 1,654 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,372,222 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,753 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 462,449 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,654 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
