Abstract

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) vinylogues 1 with extended p-conjugation are promising electron donors for organic ... 1a,m and the phenyl ones 1b,n show reversible one-stage two- electron redox waves. The p-substituted derivatives 1g,h,q and the m-substituted one 1i also undergo the similar two-electron oxidation. This fact suggests that the cation radical states of these compounds are thermodynamically unstable due to non- planar structures, similar to the reported ...
