A Fused Donor-Acceptor System Based on an Extended Tetrathiafulvalene and a Ruthenium Complex of Dipyridoquinoxaline

An application of the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction carried out on a ruthenium compound as the electrophilic precursor is described for the synthesis of fused donor acceptor system 1 based on an extended tetrathiafulvalene and a ruthenium complex of dipyridoquinoxaline units.
