Cross-Conjugation and Electronic Structure in TTF Analogs

To date, tremendous advances have been witnessed in the chemistry and physics of molecular conductors for organic electronic materials with scientific and commercial motivation [1, 2]. 

Cross Conjugation Dendralene, Radialene and Fulvene Chemistry, First Edition. 

This chapter provides an overview of recent syntheses, redox properties, and electronic structures of the multi-redox system of TTF or DT rings in cross-conjugation. 

Dendralenes, acyclic cross-conjugated polyenes having a nonplanar structure, containing DT rings (DT[ ]dendralenes) have received considerable attention as novel multistage redox systems. The [3]- and [4]-dendralenes containing
