Abstract

Novel highly soluble isomeric tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) dimers with unusual divinylnaphthalene spacers have been prepared from Wittig reactions. The cyclic voltammetry of the new TTF dimers reveals an independent behaviour of the two TTF units which show different oxidation potential values depending upon the substitution pattern.
