• [(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)alkyl]ferrocenes (2) was shown to form 1:1 CT complexes with tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ, 3) and dichlorodicyanoquinone (DDQ) 4, see Figure 1 [24][25][26]. Subsequently, a number of reports have appeared dealing with the electrochemical properties of these CT complexes of
