Summary:Dimesitylbisanthene ( 1 ) oxidizes to the corresponding bay region quinone ( 2 ) on standing in solutions exposed to air and ambient light. It is anticipated that hydrogen-terminated carbon nanotubes with bay regions on the rim are likely to exhibit even greater sensitivity toward air oxidation. The ease with which dimesitylbisanthene oxidizes in air to the corresponding bay region quinone is seen as a warning that hydrogen-terminated carbon nanotubes having bay regions on their rims may be highly sensitive to air oxidation.
