Abstract

Abstract A new tris (tetrathiafulvaleno) dodecadehydro [18] annulene with six peripheral n- hexyl substituents was prepared by oxidative Glaser–Hay cyclization of a corresponding diethynylated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) precursor. The electronic properties of the neutral and oxidized species were studied by both UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and electrochemistry. From these studies, it transpires that the strongly violet-colored ...
