Extended π‐electron acceptors , such as 1 , have been constructed by the acetylenic scaffolding of a series of novel cyanoethynylethenes. Electrochemical analysis shows that acceptor strength is a function of π‐electron conjugation length, and that a linear correlation exists between the electron affinities (B3LYP, 3‐21G) and their first reduction potential.
