Abstract

A series of new TTF containing a nitro group were prepared by using a Wittig condensation between a TTF bearing an aldehyde function and an appropriate aromatic phosphonium salt.The reducing power of each new precursor was determined by cyclic voltammetry. Charge transfer complexes of the donors with TCNQ were prepared and characterized. The electrical conductivity of these materials was measured.
