ChemInform Abstract
The title tetrathiafulvalene derivatives, e.g. (VII), (VIII), and (XII) , are prepared in view of their potential use for charge-transfer complexes and radical cation salts. The structures of (III) and cis-(V) are confirmed by X-ray analysis (space group P1 with Z = 2 and P21/c with Z = 4, respectively). Attempted reduction and coupling of (X) with P(OEt)3 produces only a polymeric material. Tetrathiafulvalene quinones possess reducing properties like quinones but do not exhibit the oxidation properties of tetrathiafulvalenes as is shown by cyclic voltammetric studies.
