An original redox-responsive ligand based on a pi-extended TTF framework.
The synthesis of the first pi-extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) ligand featuring a furanoquinonoid spacer and pyridyl functional groups is described. This compound shows an unprecedented electrochemical sensing behavior and excellent coordinating properties toward selected divalent metal ions. Solid-state structures of the free ligand and its Ni(II)Cl2 complex are described.
