The cation radical salt of dimethylthiotetrathiafulvalene
bisannulated tetraoxatetrathiatetracosane with linear pentaiodide and
triiodide counterions was prepared by electrocrystallization.
Within the crystal, linear I5
- and
I3
- form a cage-like network, in which
isolated cation radicals are located. The formation of linear
I5
- was also confirmed by the optical
spectra.
Charge-transfer complexes of bis(methylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (DMT-TTF) bisannulated macrocycles with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) were prepared. The crystal structural analysis revealed an intramolecular dimer structure with the π-π overlap of DMT-TTF units. The magnitude of intramolecular π-π overlap depends on the ring size of macrocycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
