title: Calix[4]arenes with electroactive tetrathiafulvalene and quinone units: metal-ion-promoted electron transfer.
abstract: Metal-ion-promoted electron transfer was observed for compounds 1 and 2 based on the absorption and ESR spectral studies. These results imply that spatially adjacent arrangement of TTF and quinone units in 1 and 2 due to the calix[4]arene platform is favorable for the intramolecular electron transfer.
