An extended tetrathiafulvalene redox-ligand incorporating a thiophene spacer
Abstract
An extended tetrathiafulvalene derivative incorporating a thiophene spacer and a fused crown-ether unit has been synthesized. This highly delocalized system exhibits remarkable electrochemical recognition properties for Na+ and Ba2+ as shown by cyclic voltammetry in methylene chloride. This result is attributed to the proximity between the guest metal cation and the positive charge of the oxidized ligand, which is located on the central conjugated thiophenic partSimilar works
