2,5-Bis(1,4-dithiafulven-6-yl) furans, thiophenes and N-methyl pyrroles as extended analogues of tetrathiafulvalene
摘要:
The title compounds are synthesized by Wittig or Wittig-Horner reactions between the corresponding furan, thiophen and N-methyl-pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehydes and P-reagents W or P bearing the 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene moiety adequately substituted al the 4,5-positions; thanks to usual and thin layer cyclic voltammetry, they are shown to possess good pi-donor abilities.
The preparation of some unsymmetricaltetrathiafulvalenes and the electricalconductivities of their charge transfer complexes with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) are described; the ethylenedithio(trimethylene)tetrathiafulvalene–TCNQ complex exhibited higher conductivity than complexes of tetrathiafulvalene, tetramethyltetrathia-fulvalene, and hexamethylenetetrathiafulvalene with TCNQ.
TTFvinylogues containing hydroxyphenyl groups were newly prepared. They are stronger electron donors than BEDT-TTF and afforded their cation radical salts as single crystals upon electrochemical oxidation. X-Ray structure analysis has revealed their unusual crystal structures, where π-overlapping and hydrogen bonding play a crucial role in constructing them.
