Electronic origin of the thermochromic effect in 2,2',5,5'-tetramethylbistibole

abstract

• The observed thermochromic effect in 2,2,5,5-tetramethylbistibole is explained by the one-dimensional electronic band structure for the material. The experimental spectral red shift is well accounted for by the calculations. An alternative regular structure for the material is discussed, and suggestions for stabilizing this alternative are given. 1982, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
