A novel type of cyclic multi-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives is d
escribed, including a number of new highly functionalized TTF building
blocks. The modular and convergent synthetic methodology allows the s
equential assembling of each building block leading to the desired tri
s-, tetrakis-and pentakis(tetrathiafulvalene) macrocycles 10,13 and 14
in excellent yields.
