Molecular wires with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as redox center were synthesized and characterized. UV-vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry showed these wires had good reversible redox behavior under ambient conditions and their HOMO energy levels (--5.0 eV) matched well with the Fermi level of Au (--5.1 eV).
