Conformational control of TTFV π-frameworks through naphthyl substituents.
With 1- or 2-naphthyl substituted at the vinyl positions, the conformation of the tetrathiafulvalene vinylogue π-framework can be greatly modified from completely planar to highly twisted, and the structural changes lead to markedly different electronic and electrochemical behaviours.
