and 4b) were prepared in order to investigate the properties of pyridine-analogue 3 of TCNQ as a new electronacceptor and its complexation with TTF. Although 3 was not isolated, the cyclic voltammetry of the salt 4 indicated that 3 was a stronger electronacceptor than TCNQ. The charge-transfer complex of TTF and 3 was prepared by mixing TTF with 3 which was generated in situ from the electrolytic oxidation
