title: A novel neutral organic electron donor with record half-wave potential.
abstract: Tricyclic donor 26 has been prepared and is the most reducing neutral ground-state organic molecule known, with an oxidation potential 260 mV more negative than the previous record. Cyclic voltammetry shows that a 2-electron reversible redox process occurs in DMF as solvent at -1.46 V vs. Ag/AgCl.
