Effect of tert-butyl groups on electronic communication between redox units in tetrathiafulvalene-tetraazapyrene triads

The electronic effect of tert-butyl groups on intramolecular through-bond interactions between redox units in tetrathiafulvalene-tetraazapyrene (TAP) triads is investigated. The insertion of tert-butyl groups raises the TAP-localised LUMO level by...
