四硫富瓦烯(TTF)及其衍生物由于具有特殊的结构和性质,在分子开关、分子传感器、光信息存储和非线性光学等领域显示出诱人的应用前景.综述了近几年TTF及其衍生物在分子开关领域的最新研究进展.
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives can be reversibly transformed into the radical cation TTF^2+ and dication TTF^2+ through either chemical or electrochemical oxidation. By using of this feature, TTF and its derivatives have been widely investigated for their potential use in molecular switches, molecular sensors, optical information storage and nonlinear optics etc. This article reviews the recent progress in TTF and its derivatives as molecular switches such as fluorescence switch, photochromism switch, chiral switch and supramolecular switch.
