A Tetrathiafulvalene-appended Calix[4]arene: Synthesis and Electrochemical Characterization

Abstract

A tetrathiafulvalene-appended calixarene derivative 3 was synthesized by the reaction of dibromide calixarene 1 with a TTF-thiolate derivative. A preliminary electrochemical study of 3 was carried out along with the X-ray structural characterization of the starting dibromide calixarene 1.
