The first charge-transfer complexes of tetrathiafulvalene (1) with 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazole derivatives, i.e. with [1,2,5]thiadiazolo [3,4-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (2) and 3,4-dicyano-1,2,5-telluradiazole (3), were prepared in the form of single crystals and structurally defined by X-ray diffraction as 1·2 and 1·3 2 , respectively. Starting compound 2 was synthesized by a new efficient method from 3,4-diamino-1,2,5-oxadiazole and disulfur dichloride. The electronic structure and UV-vis spectral properties of complexes 1·2 and 1·3 2 were studied by means of DFT 2 calculations. The electrical properties of single crystals of the complexes were investigated revealing semiconductor properties with an activation energy of 0.34 eV for 1·2 and 0.40 eV for 1·3 2 . Both complexes displayed photoconductive effects with increased conductivity under white-light illumination.3
