The present paper describes the synthesis, the non-linear optical and redox properties of 6-nitro-6′-piperidyl-2,2′-bisbenzothiazole, the first described member of a new family of push–pull structures based in the 2,2′-bisbenzothiazole.
The synthesis, NLO, voltammetric and EPR behaviour of the first example of a new type of push–pull molecules based in the 2,2′-bisbenzothiazole is described.
