7. (a) For an example where the acidity of a phenol -OH increases due to the creation of linear π-conjugation between the phenol and a pyridinium across a DTE backbone, see: S. H. Kawai, S. L. Gilat and J.-M. Lehn, Eur. J. Org. Chem., 1999, 2359;

Chem., 2004, 43, 482. Although this study demonstrates that there is a difference in the π-acceptor character of the pyridyl ligand in the two forms of the DTE, the authors only suggest it is due to variations in electronics in the pyridine of the closed form and do not attribute it to electronic communication between the free pyridine and the one that is electron poor owing to the coordination. In fact they later state that the distance between the two metal centres is too far for them to be effectively coupled.
