A series of tetraalkylthio substituted tetrathiafulvalenes (TTCn-TTF) was prepared. The syntheses, molecular and crystal structures, and physical properties of TTCn-TTF reveal marked differences from those of BEDT-TTF. The conformational change of TTC1-TTF molecule on the formation of chargetransfercomplexes and the mode of the S…S contacts are described in connection with those of BEDT-TTF compounds
Syntheses, structures and properties of linear copper(I) coordination polymers with tetrakis(ethylthio)tetrathiafulvalene and tetrakis(propylthio)tetrathiafulvalene
Two-linear coordination polymers composed of copper(I) cations and tetrakis(ethylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (TTC2-TTF) and tetrakis(propylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (TTC3-TTF) molecules have been synthesized by the reaction of copper(I) tetrafluoroborate with TTC2-TTF and copper(I) perchlorate with TTC3-TTF, respectively, in acetone under argon. The compounds, [Cu(TTC2-TTF)]BF4(1) and [Cu(TTC3-TTF)]ClO4
