Abstract
Cyclic voltammetry was used to determine the oxidation potentials of a wide variety of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives and to characterize their cation-radical stability. By applying correlation analysis, the mesomeric effects of the substituents on the electron-donating ability were shown to have an insignificant influence, in contrast to the trends observed with aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. This behavior is explained by peculiarities of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in TTF.
