Abstract
Several new 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane-type electron acceptors funetionalized with carboxylic acid or alcohol groups have been synthesized in moderate yields using three rather general routes. Two involved condensation reactions of malononitrile and ketones and the other proceeded through a 1,4-bis[dicyano(trimethylsiloxy)methyl]benzene. Some of the alcoholfunctionalized products were coupled with electron-donor isocyanates to afford novel D-σ-A (electron Donor-σ bridge-electron Acceptor) materials. 1. Introduction 2.
