Description
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its analogs are fascinating molecules in materials science based on their excellent electron‐donating abilities. This personal account describes recent advances in the synthesis of TTF analogs for functional materials via the palladium‐catalyzed modification of peripheries of TTF analogs. We first consider three types of molecules: fluorophore‐TTF hybrid molecules, multi‐redox systems, and an organic ligand for metal‐organic frameworks. These molecules were successfully synthesized via Stille coupling or palladium‐catalyzed direct C−H arylation and their structural, electrochemical, and optical properties were clarified. Subsequently, phosphorus‐substituted TTF analogs were successfully synthesized for future applications of redox‐active phosphine ligands for metal catalysts. The development of these molecules can significantly affect the advancement of chemical science.</jats:p>
