18. On one hand, these groups will improve their solubility in organic solvents. On the other hand, the steric hindrance of these groups will affect their tendency to aggregate, possibly due to π-π interactions. This is due to fact that both neutral TTF and PI units as well as their radical ions after oxidation or after reduction tend to aggregate in solution.

21. Efforts were made to separate the cis/trans isomers, but failed. However, theoretical calculation indicates that these cis/trans isomers show similar electronic structures. Thus, these cis/trans isomers should have no significant difference in their electronic spectra as well as redox potentials. The calculation was performed using the semiempirical AM1 method (Ampec6.7 program).
22. The spectra were measured at low concentrations in order to study the intrinsic intramolecular charge-transfer interaction for triads 1-3.
23. The fact that intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in triads 1-3 are negligible is unexpected, in particular for triad 1, for which a rather long and flexible spacer is employed. Structural optimization, using the standard procedure for energy minimization with Ampec6.7 program, indicates that the most stable conformations for triads 1-3 are extended ones, even in the case of triad 1 . Consequently, we preliminarily ascribe this experimental finding to the difference in spatial separation of electron donor and acceptor units for these triads. The spatial distances between TTF and PI units were estimated by semiempirical AM1 method with Ampec6.7 program as follows: 25 Å for 1 ; 12 Å for 2 ; 12 Å for 3 . For this estimation, we assume the 'cyclohexane' spacers in triads 2 and 3 are in the chair conformation.
24. * proceeds readily and results in fluorescence quenching. ΔG values (kJ/mol) were obtained for triad 1 (-113.8), triad 2 (-114.8) and triad 3 (-113.8) respectively estimated by the Rehm-Weller equation according to the reference Rehm D., Weller D. Isr. J. Chem. 8:1970;259-271.
25. Here, we mean the energy 'donor' is PI unit, while the energy 'acceptor' is TTF unit.

28. The dark-colored precipitate showed the molecular ion peak at m/z=1658.5 in MS spectrum (measured by MALDI-TOF) which was the same as that of triad 1.
