Indene is deprotonated by butyl lithium and related reagents to give the equivalent of the indenyl anion: [2] ...

The reaction, called indenyl coupling, reveals that structural parity drives the appearance of solitons in odd-membered π conjugated polymers. The results are a collaboration among scientists at ...
