Binding studies between tetrathiafulvalene derivatives and cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)

The complexation between a number of different pi-electron donating TTF derivatives and the pi-electron accepting tetracationic cyclophane cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) has been studied by (1)H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the strength of association between the donors (TTF derivatives) and acceptor (CBPQT(4+)) is strongly dependent on the pi-electron donating properties (measured by the first redox potential ) of the TTF derivatives. However, the first redox potential () is not the only factor of importance. The extended pi-surface of the TTF derivatives also exerts a stabilizing influence upon complexation. The kinetics for the complexation-decomplexation were studied using (1)H NMR spectroscopy and are related to the bulkiness of the TTF derivatives. These effects may serve to improve the design of interlocked molecular systems, especially (bistable) molecular switches, in which CBPQT(4+) and a derivatized TTF unit are incorporated.

TIPS‐TTF as a Precursor of Low‐Symmetry TTF Derivatives: Steric Protection Strategy in the Regioselective C?H Modification of TTF

Triisopropylsilyltetrathiafulvalene (TIPS‐TTF) has been devised as a promising platform for the synthesis of low‐symmetry TTF derivatives. The bulky TIPS group allows TIPS‐TTF to undergo palladium‐catalyzed direct diarylation as well as LDA‐mediated dilithiation exclusively on the roomier dithiole ring. Subsequent fluoride‐mediated protodesilylation provided vicinally difunctionalized TTF, which could undergo further functionalization.     

Dimeric and trimeric tetrathiafulvalenes with strong intramolecular interactions in the oxidized states

New dimeric and trimeric TTF derivatives with methylenedithio spacers (1a,b, 2a, and 2b) have been synthesized. X-ray structure analysis revealed that TTF units of the dimer 1b adopted distorted face-to-face overlapping arrangement both in intra- and intermolecular stacking. Cyclic voltammetric study indicated that trimeric 2a was in favor of taking di- and tetracationic states, while the dimeric 1a was in favor of taking a monocation. The absorption spectroscopic study suggested an existence of the strong face-to-face interaction particularly in di-, tri-, and tetracationic state of the trimeric TTF derivatives.

The influence of the β-diketonatoboron difluoride moiety on the redox properties of the TTF has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.     

New Concepts in Tetrathiafulvalene Chemistry

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives were originally prepared as strong electron-donor molecules for the development of electrically conducting materials. This Review emphasizes how TTF and its derivatives offer new and in some cases little-exploited possibilities at the molecular to the supramolecular levels, as well as in macromolecular aspects. TTF is a well-established molecule whose interest goes beyond the field of materials chemistry to be considered an important building block in supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering, and in systems able to operate as machines. At the molecular level, TTF is a readily available molecule which displays a strong electron-donor ability. However, its use as a catalyst for radical-polar crossover reactions, thus mimicking samarium iodide chemistry, has only recently been addressed. Important goals have been achieved in the use of TTF at the macromolecular level where TTF-containing oligomers, polymers, and dendrimers have allowed the preparation of new materials that integrate the unique properties of TTF with the processability and stability that macromolecules display. The TTF molecule has also been successfully used in the construction of redox-active supramolecular systems. Thus, chemical sensors and redox-switchable ligands have been prepared from TTF while molecular shuttles and molecular switches have been prepared from TTF-containing rotaxanes and catenanes. A large synthetic effort has been devoted to the preparation of the so-called organic ferromagnets, many of which are derived from TTF. The main task in these systems is the introduction of ferromagnetic coupling between the conduction electrons and localized electrons. TTF has also played a prominent role in molecular electronics where TTF-containing D-sigma-A molecules have allowed the preparation of the first confirmed unimolecular rectifier. Recently, it has been confirmed that TTF can display efficient nonlinear optic (NLO) responses in the second and third harmonic generation as well as a good thermal stability. These findings can be combined with the redox ability of TTF as an external stimuli to provide a promising strategy for the molecular engineering of switchable NLO materials. Fullerenes endowed with TTF exhibit outstanding photophysical properties leading to charge-separated (CS) states that show remarkable lifetimes.     

pi conjugation across the tetrathiafulvalene core: synthesis of extended tetrathiafulvalene derivatives and theoretical analysis of their unusual electrochemical properties

A series of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives bearing one or two 1,4-dithiafulven-6-yl substitutents has been prepared. The new compounds present remarkable electrochemical singularities compared with other TTF derivatives, which are strongly affected by the nature of the substitution on the lateral heterocycle(s). This unusual electrochemical behaviour follows a square-scheme sequence and is attributed to structural changes upon oxidation of the pi-donating molecules. Digital simulations of the electrochemical data have been used to reach the values of the kinetic and thermodynamic constants involved in the square scheme. Theoretical calculations establish an important contribution of a highly delocalised resonant form involving a tetravalent sulphur in oxidised species, which could justify the occurrence of an electrochemical behaviour distinct from that of TTF. Finally, third-order susceptibilities chi 3 of two of these systems, for which electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents coexist and are conjugated through the TTF pi system, are given.

Theoretical study on charge carrier mobilities of tetrathiafulvalene derivatives

We calculated the hole and electron mobilities of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivative crystals using first-principles calculations and the Marcus theory of electron transfer. The hole and electron reorganization energies were found to decrease with the extension of π-conjugated orbitals. The calculated hole mobilities of TTF, dibenzo-tetrathiafulvalene (DB-TTF), and dinaphtho-tetrathiafulvalene (DN-TTF) agree well with the experimental results. In addition, with the increase of the number of benzene rings attached to the TTF skeleton, the hole mobilities decrease and the electron mobilities increase. The calculated electron mobility of dianthro-tetrathiafulvalene (DA-TTF) based on a virtual crystal structure is much larger than the hole one due to the small electron reorganization energy and large electron coupling. This suggests that the charge transfer properties of the TTF derivatives can be modified when the number of aromatic rings on TTF skeleton increases.     

Benzodicarbomethoxytetrathiafulvalene derivatives as soluble organic semiconductors

A series of new tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives bearing dimethoxycarbonyl and phenyl or phthalimidyl groups fused to the TTF core (6 and 15-18) has been synthesized as potential soluble semiconductor materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The electron-withdrawing substituents lower the energy of the HOMO and LUMO levels and increase the solubility and stability of the semiconducting material. Crystal structures of all new TTF derivatives are also described, and theoretical DFT calculations were carried out to study the potential of the crystals to be used in OFET. In the experimental study, the best performing device exhibited a hole mobility up to 7.5 × 10(-3) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)).     

Tetrathiafulvalene: A Paradigmatic Electron Donor Molecule

Abstract

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives are exceptional building blocks in many areas of organic, supramolecular, and materials chemistry. Since the discovery ca. 30 years ago of the first “organic metal” tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ), a huge number of TTF derivatives have been synthetized.

Although initial efforts were directed to enhance the electron-donating ability of TTF analogues to improve the conductivities of salts and charge-transfer (CT) complexes derived from them, the developments in synthetic TTF chemistry have made it possible to incorporate TTF into more sophisticated structures such as materials exhibiting intramolecular charge-transfer and nonlinear optical properties, sensors, molecular shuttles and devices.

Compounds in which TTF and electron-accepting molecules, especially C ₆₀ , are covalently tethered exhibit outstanding photophysical properties leading, upon photoexcitation, to charge-separated (CS) states showing remarkable lifetimes. In these systems, the gain of aromaticity upon oxidation of the TTF moiety has been used as a new concept for improving the stability of the charge-separated state, and, therefore, are of interest for the preparation of artificial photosynthetic systems as well as photovoltaic devices.
