Abstract
Extended tetrathiafulvalenes with central diindenothienoacene cores were prepared and studied for their redox and spectroelectrochemical properties, which depended strongly on the orientation of the thiophene rings. The cations undergo remarkably strong associations, rendering them attractive as redox-controllable tectons in supramolecular chemistry, and in one case crystals were grown by electrocrystallization.
