The first phthalocyanine derivative decorated with peripheral tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units has been synthesized. The synthetic design strategy and the derivative's spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization are described. It is noted that the tendency of phthalocyanine units to assemble in solution is not prevented and also that the redox behavior of the appended TTF units is not hindered. The potential of TTF–phthalocyanines for molecular electronics is pointed out.
