Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives can be reversibly transformed into the radical cation TTF•+ and dication TTF2+ through either chemical or electrochemical oxidation. By using of this feature, TTF and its derivatives have been widely investigated for their potential use in molecular switches, molecular sensors, optical information storage and nonlinear optics etc. This article reviews the recent progress in TTF and its derivatives as molecular switches such as fluorescence switch, photochromism switch, chiral switch and supramolecular switch.

Key words: synthesis, molecular switch, molecular recognition, tetrathiafulvalene
