Abstract
Two new unsymmetrical tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, 2,3βbis(cyanoethylthio)β6,7β(methylβethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (6a) and 2,3βbis(cyanoethylthio)β6,7β(cyclopentodithio)tetrathiafulvalene (6b), have been prepared and characterized by NMR, MS, IR and Elemental analyses. The molecular structures have been determined by Xβray crystallography. Their redox properties have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane solution and each compound shows two reversible singleβelectron redox couples.

4-[2-tetrathiafulvalenyl-ethenyl]pyridine (1) has been prepared from a Wittig reaction between formyltetrathiafulvalene and 4-picolyltriphenylphosphonium chloride hydrochloride. Conversion of the pyridine moiety of 1 by reaction with methyl iodide leads to 4-[2-tetrathiafulvalenyl-ethenyl]-1-methylp
