A unique molecular donor containing two tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units fused to 1,4 - ditellurin: Synthesis, X-ray structure and cyclic voltammetry

Abstract A new molecular donor composed of two TTF moieties fused to 1,4-ditellurin ( 3 ) has been synthesized and the structure has been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The cyclic voltammetry of both 3 and its methyl analogue 4 display two reversible two-electron oxidation waves.
