    Abstract

    The synthesis, electrochem. and mesogenic properties of novel tetrathiafulvalenyl- (e.g., I, R = R' = hexyl) and ferrocenyl-triphenylenes are described. In all cases the juxtaposition of the hexa-alkyloxytriphenylene with a tetrathiafulvalene or ferrocene unit failed to give rise to derivs. displaying a discotic mesophase. Soln. electrochem. of derivs. I (R = hexyl, R' = hexyl, Me) revealed an interaction occurs between the dicationic state of the TTF moiety and the triphenylene nucleus. [on SciFinder(R)]
