Cruciform motifs with two orthogonally oriented π‐extended tetrathiafulvalenes and with differently protected thiolate end‐groups are synthesized by stepwise coupling reactions. The molecules are subjected to single‐molecule conductivity studies in a break‐junction and to conducting probe atomic force microscopy studies in a self‐assembled monolayer on gold.
