Abstract: Herein, we synthesised four new acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) based donor tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) fused with different units of acceptors. Absorption studies of the chloroform solutions of the compounds 1-4 have been studied, absorption peaks are exhibiting within the range of 250-550 nm. There is source for the protonation studies in the synthesised molecules; hence we performed absorption studies by adding hydrochloric acid aliquots, after protonation interestingly the absorption band shifts from blue region to the red region (520-680 nm) because of the intra-molecular charge transfer. Protonation on the nitrogen atoms of the TTF based units allows for the creation of low band gap between HOMO and LUMO energy level systems and widely useful in NIR optical properties and solar cell applications.
