Controlled alignment and self‐assembly of molecular wires is one of the challenges in the
field of molecular electronics. Here, we take an approach by which two oligo …

Functionalized oligo (phenyleneethynylene) s (OPEs) show potential as molecular wires for
molecular electronics. A selection of OPEs with vertically disposed extended …

Molecules with two orthogonally oriented π-systems (cruciforms) have attracted interest by
virtue of the different conjugation pathways that exist between the individual parts of the …

Since the field of molecular electronics originated in the 1970s, the sulfur-containing
heterocycle tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) has played a leading role. The reason for this is its …

Novel oligo (phenyleneethynylene)(OPE)-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) cruciform molecules
containing thiol end-groups have been prepared and characterized. These redox-active …

Cruciform-like molecules with two orthogonally placed π-conjugated systems have in recent
years attracted significant interest for their potential use as molecular wires in molecular …

Stepwise acetylenic scaffolding provides cruciform-conjugated molecules with vertically
disposed π-systems, one being an extended tetrathiafulvene (TTF) unit. Two synthetic routes …

Development of functional organic molecules as components for molecular electronics has
attracted wide interest in recent years.[1] In particular, oligo (phenyleneethynylene) s (OPEs …

Novel highly soluble isomeric tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) dimers with unusual
divinylnaphthalene spacers have been prepared from Wittig reactions. The cyclic …

We report the synthesis and electropolymerisation of 1, 3, 5-tris (1, 3-dithiole-2-
ylidenephenylene) benzene. The resulting polymer features extended tetrathiafulvalene …
