Abstract
This study has shown that easily oxidisable TTF units form charge-transfer (C-T) complexes with 7 which have the largest reported association constant s to date. Replacing the sulfur of the TTF unit with selenium or extending the conjugated link between the two dithiole rings reduces the K-a of the c omplex relative to the parent derivative.
