Abstract

We have synthesised new conjugated donor-pi -acceptor (D-pi -A) chromophores 7, 9, and 12-15 in which monosubstituted tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and trimethyl-TTF units are the donor moieties, connected by ethylenic bridges to electron-deficient benzene derivatives as the acceptor moieties. These compounds display a broad intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) band in their solution UV/Vis spectra at lambda (max) = ca.
