title: A pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene belt and its TCNQ complex: syntheses and X-ray crystal structures.
abstract: A general and efficient four-step synthesis of a tetrathiafulvalene-belt 6, starting from the monopyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene building block 1, is described, together with its 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane charge transfer complex. The complexation of the electron acceptor 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane by the tetrathiafulvalene-belt 6 was investigated both in solution and in the solid state. [reaction: see text]
