A chiral tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) dimer bridged by an allene framework (1) was synthesized. An X-ray analysis of 1 revealed an effective conjugation between TTF and the allene backbone. Allene 1 was resolved into both enantiomers, which showed strong chiroptical electrochromic properties. Absolute configuration of the allene was validated by theoretical study of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum. ECD spectra of cationic species 1(2+) and 1(4+) exhibited intense Cotton Effects over the visible region.
