Synthesis and Properties of 1,3-Dithiole[5]dendralenes with Two Thiophene Spacers
Novel 1,3-dithiole[5]dendralene derivatives with two thiophene spacers 3a and 3b were synthesized. Cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry revealed that the positive charges of 3 in the dication and tetracation states mainly distribute on the outer two extended TTF moieties.
