Summary.
A number of π-extended conjugated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) analogues were synthesized as new π-donors, and their structures and physical properties were determined. UV/Vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry of the π-extended ferrocenyl donors were studied in comparison with ferrocene, ferrocenylquinone, and the parent donor. A three-electron redox behaviour was observed. The absorption spectrum of the new donor 16 showed a slight red-shift and a slight increase in intensity relative to the compared compounds.
