Cs. Wang et al., NEW DIRECT IODINATION OF TETRATHIAFULVALENE (TTF) - MONO-IODO-TTF ANDDI-IODO-TTF AND THEIR X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (8), 1994, pp. 983-984
2-lodo-(1) and 2,6(7)-diiodo-tetrathiafulvalenes (2a, 2b) have been sy
nthesized in good yields, by treating the corresponding lithiated inte
rmediates of TTF with perfluorohexyl iodide; the X-ray crystal structu
res of 1 and 2a have been determined.
