title: Dendralene-type TTF vinylogs containing a 1,3-diselenole ring.
abstract: 2-Diformylmethylene-1,3-diselenole was prepared and condensed with dithiolium phoshonium bromides and dithiolium phosphonates in the presence of base to give dendralene-type vinylogs of TTF bearing a 1,3-diselenole moiety. The electrochemistry of these dendrimers was studied. SEEPR measurements were also carried out. Calculations were carried out on the radical cations and correlated with the EPR values.
