Synthesis and Properties of Tetrathiadiazafulvalenes [RCNS2C:CS2NCR] (R = H, Me, Ph)
摘要:
Reduction of 5-(methylthio)-1,4,2-dithiazolium (3, R = H, Me, Ph) salts with zinc powder yields the corresponding diazahexathioorthooxalate derivatives (RCNS(2))(MeS)CC(SMe)(S(2)NCR) (4, R = H, Me, Ph). Thermolysis of these materials in the presence of catalytic quantities of iodine affords the tetrathiadiazafulvalenes [RCNS(2)C=CS(2)NCR] (2, R = H, Me, Ph) in good yield. Separation of the cis and trans isomers can be achieved with relative ease for the R = Me and Ph derivatives, but co-crystallization occurs for the two isomers of the R = H compound. Tetrathiadiazafulvalenes are poorer electron donors than TTF; cyclic voltammetry nonetheless reveals two reversible oxidation processes. The ESR spectrum of the radical cation trans-2(+.) (R = Ph) consists of a quintet with a(N) = 0.08 mT, g = 2.0071.

Tetrathiadiazafulvalenes can be prepared by the reductive coupling of 5-methylthio-1,4,2-dithiazolium salts, and thermolysis of the resulting hexathiooxalates; oxidation of tetrathiadiazafulvalenes affords the corresponding radical cations.
