The tetra‐substituted TTF‐type donors 4,4′,5,5′‐tetrakis(2‐pyridylethylsulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalene ( 1 ) and 4,4′,5,5′‐tetrakis(2‐pyrazylethylsulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalene ( 2 ) were prepared and characterized. These donors show a redox behaviour that is comparable with similar unsubstituted TTF donors, with a small increase of the redox potentials due to the electron‐withdrawing effect of the pyridine and pyrazine groups. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses show structures with a strong segregation of TTF and azo moieties. The pyridine‐substituted donor 1 was used as a bridging ligand to prepare a dinuclear Co II ‐coordination complex [ 1 Co 2 (hfac) 4 ] (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) with redox properties identical to that of 1 . This dinuclear complex presents an effective magnetic moment of ca. 8 μ B , corresponding to nearly independent S = 3/2 spins with weak antiferromagnetic interactions below 65 K.
