Abstract
The synthesis, electrochemistry and mesogenic properties of novel tetrathia fulvalenyl- and ferrocenyl-triphenylenes are described. In all cases the ju xtaposition of the hexa-alkyloxytriphenylene with a tetrathiafulvalene or f errocene unit failed to give rise to derivatives displaying a discotic meso phase. Solution electrochemistry of derivatives 7 and 13 has revealed an in teraction occurs between the dicationic state of the TTF moiety and the tri phenylene nucleus. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
