Notes:
Molecules of the TTF and TCNQ Type with Macrocyclic SkeletonsThe electron-rich and electron-poor macrocycles 1 - 3 have been synthesized. Their [1.1](3,3′)biphenylophane framework is formed by Kharasch reaction. Whereas in the well-known donors and acceptors I-III the functionalities are conjugated, in their macrocyclic “analogues” 1-3 the conjugation is prevented by the meta-connection of the phenylene rings. The redox properties - studied by cyclovoltammetry - are discussed. The X-ray analysis of 3 shows considerable deviations from a planar structure.
