Lithiation of 4,5-bis(methylsulfanyl)-TTF 9, 4,5-(ethylenedisulfanyl)-TTF 10, 4,5-dimethyl-TTF 11 and 4,5,5′-trimethyl-TTF 12 (TTF=tetrathiafulvalene) followed by reaction with methyl isothiocyanate affords the corresponding (N-methylthio-carbamoyl)-TTF derivatives 14–17, respectively, in 54–70% yields. These new TTF derivatives display a broad intramolecular charge-transfer band in their UV–VIS spectra arising from conjugation between the donor TTF ring and the acceptor N-methylthiocarbamoyl moiety. Steric hindrance between the adjacent N-methylthiocarbamoyl and methyl substituents in 17 causes a marked hyposchromic shift in this band (λmax 395 nm) compared to compounds 14–16 (lambda;max 435–467 nm). Consistent with the electron-withdrawing properties of the N-methylthiocarbamoyl substituent, its attachment to the TTF ring raises slightly the oxidation potential of the system. Charge transfer complexes of these donors and (N-methylthiocarbamoyl)-TTF 2 with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) and salts with bromide anions are reported, some of which have high room temperature conductivity values. The X-ray crystal structures are presented for 16, 17 and the salts 2·Br, 14·TCNQ and (17)2·20. The structure of 16 comprises orthogonal dimers (kappa packing) while in the structure of 17 individual molecules are orthogonal to each other. There is weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding in both 16 and 17. In the structure of 2·Br, the radical cations 2+· are almost planar and they form an infinite stair-like stack of dimers, with bromide anions situated between the stacks, and linked with the cation by a strong N–H‥Br bond. The structure of 14·TCNQ comprises mixed ‥DDAADD‥ stacks; the N-methylthiocarbamoyl group engages in an interstack N–H‥N bond with a TCNQ anion. Analysis of the bond lengths in the structure suggests that there is partial charge transfer from 14 to TCNQ. In the structure of (17)2·20 molecules form mixed ‥DDADDA‥ stacks and analysis of bond lengths suggests that there is only a small degree of charge transfer from donor to acceptor. The geometries of compounds 2, 14, 16, 17 were optimised using the PM3 semi-empirical method and the results compare favourably with the X-ray structural data.
将 4,5-双(甲硫基)-TTF 9、4,5-(亚乙基二硫基)-TTF 10、4,5-二甲基-TTF 11 和 4,5,5′-三甲基-TTF 12(TTF=四硫代富勒烯)进行锂化,然后与异硫氰酸甲酯反应,可分别得到相应的(N-甲硫基氨基甲酰基)-TTF 衍生物 14-17,收率为 54-70%。这些新的 TTF 衍生物在其紫外-可见光谱中显示出宽阔的分子内电荷转移带,这是由于供体 TTF 环和受体 N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰基之间的共轭作用产生的。与 14-16 号化合物(λmax 435-467 nm)相比,17 号化合物中相邻的 N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰基和甲基取代基之间的立体阻碍导致该波段(λmax 395 nm)出现明显的低色度偏移。与 N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰取代基的吸电子特性相一致,N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰取代基与 TTF 环的连接会略微提高体系的氧化电位。据报道,这些供体和(N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰基)-TTF 2 与 7,7,8,8-四氰基对二醌甲烷(TCNQ)以及溴阴离子盐的电荷转移配合物,其中一些具有很高的室温电导率值。本文介绍了 16、17 以及盐类 2-Br、14-TCNQ 和 (17)2-20 的 X 射线晶体结构。16 的结构由正交二聚体(卡帕堆积)组成,而在 17 的结构中,单个分子彼此正交。16 和 17 中都存在微弱的分子间氢键。在 2-Br 的结构中,自由基阳离子 2+- 几乎是平面的,它们形成一个无限阶梯状的二聚体堆栈,溴阴离子位于堆栈之间,并通过强 N-H‥Br 键与阳离子相连。14-TCNQ 的结构由混合的 ‥DDAADD‥ 堆栈组成;N-甲基硫代氨基甲酰基与 TCNQ 阴离子在堆间形成 N-H‥N 键。对结构中键长的分析表明,14 与 TCNQ 之间存在部分电荷转移。在 (17)2-20 的结构中,分子形成了混合的‥DDADDA‥堆栈,对键长的分析表明,从供体到受体只有少量的电荷转移。利用 PM3 半经验方法对化合物 2、14、16 和 17 的几何结构进行了优化,结果与 X 射线结构数据相比非常理想。
