A novel dimeric TTF derivative (1) of a cross-cyclophane type was prepared through an intramolecular coupling of a cyclic tetramer of alkylated dmit. The crystal structure of 1·TCNQ indicates a unique sheet structure of 1 through face-to-face and two types of side-by-side interactions. Cyclic voltammetric measurement of 1 suggests the presence of intramolecular interaction between two donor units.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
