Abstract

A series of thienylene-ethynylene-tetrathiafulvalene oligomers 16 have been synthesized by the Sonogashira reaction of iodo-tetrathiafulvalene derivatives with thienylethynes. The X-ray structure of 4,5-bis(2-thienylethynyl)tetrathiafulvalene (1b) revealed a planar structure of the molecule. The electronic spectra of neutral oligomers 16 suggest a partial intramolecular charge transfer between the TTF and thienylethyne units. The cyclic voltammetric measurements of 14 showed multi-redox processes.
