On the association of neutral and cationic tris(tetrathiafulvaleno)dodecadehydro[18]annulenes

Org Biomol Chem. 2016 Jan 14;14(2):425-429. doi: 10.1039/c5ob02087e.

Abstract

Here, we report the first X-ray crystal structure of a tetrathiafulvalene-fused dehydroannulene with peripheral ethylthio substituents. In addition, we have subjected this compound to electrochemical and UV-Vis-NIR/ESR spectroelectrochemical studies to elucidate the degree to which the oxidised species associate.
