Synthesis and electrochemistry of a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)21–glycol dendrimer: intradendrimer aggregation of TTF cation radicals
Abstract
The convergent synthesis of a TTF–glycol dendrimer is reported: thin layer cyclic voltammetric studies on (TTF)21 system 11 show that all the TTF units undergo two single-electron oxidations to produce the 42+ redox state spectroelectrochemical studies establish that there are intradendrimer interactions between partially-oxidised TTF units.
