Tetrathiafulvalenyl-acetylacetonate complexes of difluoroboron

A series of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives functionalized by one or two β-diketonatoboron difluoride groups were synthesized through the addition of borontrifluoride to TTF substituted by one or two acetylacetone functions. The influence of the β-diketonatoboron difluoride moiety on the redox properties of the TTF has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
