Dimeric tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives have been studied as π‐electron donor components of organic conductors. The authors report the synthesis of a novel bis(TTF) cyclophane (see Figure), which possesses a rare “edge‐to‐face” double linkage of two TTF units, joined by two bridges. The solution electrochemistry of this molecule is described, as are the X‐ray structures of the neutral molecule and two cation radical salts.
