Bis(tetrathiafulvaleno)octadehydro[20]annulene with multi-functionality
Sulfur-bridged octadehydro[20]annulene 1c annelated with two TTF rings was synthesized and its multi-functional proper: ties were ascertained. The annulene exhibits paratropicity, solvato chromism, electrochromism and multi-redox potentials in solution, and its cation radical in the solid state shows self-association and electric conductivity.
