title: Electrochemically controlled multiple hydrogen bonding between triarylamines and imidazoles.
abstract: By increasing the number of amino substituents on triarylamine, the extent of hydrogen bonding between the oxidized form of triarylamine and imidazole could be electrochemically controlled. Three behaviors, depending on the interaction between oxidized amine and imidazole, were obtained in CV patterns. DFT calculation was used to confirm that the electron density of protons of the amino group decreased as the amino moiety increased.
