R. Kato et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF NEW UNSYMMETRICAL METAL DITHIOLATE COMPLEXES, Chemistry Letters, (9), 1997, pp. 921-922
New ''unsymmetrical'' (mixed ligand) metal dithiolate complexes, expec
ted as components of molecular conductors, have been obtained by a lig
and-exchange reaction in refluxing acetone, followed by isolation with
a preparative HPLC (ODP; acetonitrile-H2O). Their electrochemical dat
a suggest that the acceptor (donor) ability and the on-site Coulomb en
ergy for the ''unsymmetrical'' complexes can be tuned by a combination
of ligands.
