Synthesis of macrobicyclic tetrathiafulvalenophanes with three TTF bridges

Using a stepwise selective protection-deprotection of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-thiolates under high dilution conditions, the first three-dimensional macrobicyclic tetrathiafulvalenophanes are readily prepared.

Synthesis and characterisation of macrobicyclic tetrathiafulvalene-bridged cage molecules

A series of new macrobicyclic tetrathiafulvalenophanes of type 1 and 2 with three tetrathiafulvalene bridges has been prepared under high-dilution conditions using a stepwise selective protection-deprotection of tetrathiafulvalenethiolates. All the macrobicyclic tetrathiafulvalenes, along with the intermediate compounds 5 and 6 and the unexpected tetrathiafulvalene pentamers 17, were studied by cyclic voltammetry. An electrochemical investigation using the Bard-Anson equation and thin-layer cyclic voltammetry has been carried out, allowing an estimate of the number of electrons involved in each redox process of these multi-redox compounds. The X-ray crystal structure showing the unusual crystal packing of 2a is also presented.
