Electroactive 1,5-benzodiazepines bearing either a tetrathiafulvalene or a ferrocene moiety

The synthesis of a series of electroactive 1,5-benzodiazepines bearing either a ferrocene or tetrathiafulvalene core, acting as the electroactive moiety, is reported. The electron donating ability of these redox active 1,5-benzodiazepines is described together with their molecular structures, investigated by X-ray diffraction studies.
