title: An experimental and theoretical study on the electrostatic effect of an appended cationic group on electronic properties of aromatic systems.
abstract: Tetraalkylammonium salts, characterized by an aromatic system pending from one of the alkyl chains, are taken as model systems to study the spectroscopic and redox properties of the aromatic centre under the field effects exerted by the charged group through alkyl bridges of varying length. The changes in the aromatic's redox properties, due to the net field effect and its different components, are interpreted on theoretical bases.
