Abstract

Two molecular tweezers containing a tetrathiafulvalene vinylogue (TTFV) core were synthesized via sequential Sonogashira and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reactions. The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of these TTFV tweezers were investigated by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and spectro-electrochemical measurements. The property characterizations suggest potential application in electrochemically-actuated molecular switching devices.
