Abstract
Rigid and soluble electron donor-acceptor conjugates (3 and 11) that combine π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) as an electron donor and C as an electron acceptor have been synthesized using oligo-vinylfluorene (oFV) linkers to connect the electroactive entities. Fluorescence and transient absorption measurements confirm that light-induced excitation induces charge-transfer reactions over distances of 28 in THF. The incorporation of vinylene spacers into oligofluorene molecular wires has been shown both experimentally and theoretically to improve the charge-transfer features significantly to give a β value of 0.075 ± 0.001 . Enhanced π-conjugation caused by higher orbital overlap is responsible for this trend. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
