through the coordination of the two phosphino groups on the same
dithiole ring to a metallic W(CO)4 fragment. The redox properties of
this electroactive bis 13-membered metallamacrocycles were
determined and comparison with those of the starting ligand shows
that the presence of these two metallamacrocycles does influence
the electron donating ability of the TTF.

1H NMR and 31P NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker AC 300P
or ARX 200 spectrometers. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm ref-
erenced to TMS for 1H NMR and to H3PO4 for 31P NMR. Melting
points were measured using a Kofler hot stage apparatus. Mass
spectra were performed by the Centre Régional de Mesures Phy-
siques de l’Ouest, Rennes. Methanol was distilled from calcium
and dichloromethane from P2O5. Chromatography was performed
using silica gel Merck 60 (70–260 mesh). The tetrakis(cyanoethyl-
thio)-TTF 3 was prepared according to previously published proce-

according to published procedure [10]. Cyclic voltammetry were
carried out on a 10À3 M solution of the derivatives in dichloro-
methane, containing a 0.1 M nBu4NPF6 as the supporting electro-
lyte. Voltammograms were recorded at 0.1 V sÀ1 at a platinum
disk electrode (A = 1 mm2). The potentials were measured versus
Saturated Calomel Electrode.
4.2.3. Complex 6
To a solution of TTF 1 (310 mg, 0.24 mmol) in 25 ml of dried, de-
gassed toluene was added under argon DABCO (110 mg,
0.96 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 4 h at 50 °C after which
cis-W(CO)4(NHC5H10)2 (220 mg, 0.48 mmol) in 8 ml of degassed
CHCl3 was added. Stirring was continued for 2 h at 90 °C and then
the solvent was evaporated. The residue was extracted with CH2Cl2
and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4
and the solvent evaporated. Chromatography over silica gel (1:1
CH2Cl2/PE) gave the complex 6 as an orange powder in 33% yield.

To
a solution of tetrakiscyanoethylthio-TTF 3 (400 mg,
0.73 mmol) in 20 mL of DMF was added under argon a solution
of Cs2CO3, H2O (410 mg, 2.4 mmol). The mixture was allowed to
stir for 3 h at 70 °C after which, 3-iodopropyldiphenylphosphine-
borane (1 g, 3.65 mmol) for 4 or 4-bromobutyldiphenylphos-
phine-borane (1.2 g, 3.6 mmol) for 5 was added. The mixture was
stirred for 12 h and then the solvents were evaporated. The residue
was extracted with CH2Cl2 and washed with water. The organic
layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. Chromatography over
silica gel (4:1 CH2Cl2/PE) afforded 4 (690 mg, 73%) as an orange
powder or 5 as an orange thick oil (670 mg, 68%).

This procedure was realized in order to characterize by 1H and
31P NMR the TTF 1 and 2. The typical procedure is as followed. To a
solution of TTF 4 or 5 (0.1 mmol) in 10 ml of dried, degassed tolu-
ene was added under argon DABCO (0.4 mmol). The mixture was
stirred for 4 h at 50 °C after which the solution was filtered through
a silica gel column under inert atmosphere using dry and degassed
toluene as eluent. TTF 1 1H NMR (200 MHz; CDCl3) d 1.75 (m, 8H);
