EXTENDED HOMOLOGS OF TETRATHIOALKYL-TETRATHIAFULVALENES
Tetrathiafulvalene radical cation salts are organic-based conductors where and increase of the dimensionality of the conducting process leads to a stabilization of the metallic state. Donor molecules of the type shown in the Figure should increase this dimensionality by extending the pi conjugation of the system. The synthesis of the new donor and the electrical properties of its salts are presented.
