The one-electron oxidation of tetramethoxydibenzobicyclo[4.4.1]undecane (4) prompts it to undergo a clam-like electromechanical actuation into a cofacially pi-stacked conformer as established by (i) electrochemical analysis, (ii) by the observation of the intense charge-resonance transition in the near IR region in its cation radical spectrum, and (iii) by X-ray crystallographic characterization of the isolated cation radical salt (4(+*) SbCl(6)(-)).
四甲氧基二苯并双环[4.4.1]十一烷（4）的单电子氧化促使其发生类似蛤的机电驱动，形成一个共面π堆积构象体，这是通过以下方式确定的：（i）电化学分析，（ii）观察其阳离子自由基光谱中近红外区域强烈的电荷共振跃迁，以及（iii）对分离出的阳离子自由基盐（4(+*)SbCl(6)(-)）进行X射线晶体学表征。
