A series of π-extended N-arylpyrrolo[3,4-d]tetrathiafulvalenes, N-aryl-2-[4,5-bis(ethylthio)-1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene]-(1,3)-dithiolo[4,5-c] pyrroles, (3a-d) were prepared via cross-coupling of 4,5-bis(ethylthio)-1,3- dithiol-2-one (12) with N-aryl-(1,3)-dithiolo[4,5-c]pyrrole-2-thiones (11a-d). The latters were obtained by the reactions of 4,5-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-dithiole- 2-thione (8) with aromatic amines (9a-d). Electrochemical behavior of compounds (3a-d) was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry. It was found that all these compounds (3a-d) have comparable to or lower half-wave potentials than those of N-alkyl-pyrrolo[3,4-d]tetrathiafulvalenes (2a-c).
