A series of boron subphthalocyanine-tetracyanobutadiene-ferrocene (SubPc-TCBD-Fc) triads was synthesized by subjecting SubPcs with a ferrocenylethynyl substituent at either the axial or peripheral position to a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with tetracyanoethylene followed by retroelectrocyclization. The ferrocenylethynyl unit was introduced at the axial position (at the boron atom) by a simple aluminum chloride-mediated alkynylation reaction, while functionalization at the SubPc periphery was accomplished by a Sonogashira coupling reaction. The conversion of one alkyne unit into a TCBD unit in combination with the location of the resulting TCBD-Fc moiety was found to have a strong influence on the optical and redox properties, which is ascribed to very different ground-state interactions between the individual donor/acceptor systems. The first electrochemical oxidation could thus be anodically shifted by as much as 0.4 V from the strongest donor molecule (with most unperturbed ferrocene character) to the poorest donor molecule (with strongly perturbed ferrocene character). Six redox states could be reached reversibly for the SubPc-TCBD-Fc triads, -3, -2, -1, 0, + 1, + 2, and for one compound the formation of a tetraanion persistent at the time scale of slow scan voltammetry was observed.
