THE EXTENSIVELY CONJUGATED BIMETALLIC (MU-TETRATHIOOXALATO)COPPER(II)COMPLEX (BU(4)N)(2)[(C3S5)CUC2S4CU(C3S5)] FOR ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTINGCHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEXES
J. Piotraschke et al., THE EXTENSIVELY CONJUGATED BIMETALLIC (MU-TETRATHIOOXALATO)COPPER(II)COMPLEX (BU(4)N)(2)[(C3S5)CUC2S4CU(C3S5)] FOR ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTINGCHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEXES, Inorganic chemistry, 34(16), 1995, pp. 4011-4012
The complex tetrabutylammonium(mu-tetrathiooxalato)bi 2-thioxo-1,3-dit
hiole-4,5-dithiolato)cuprate(II)], (Bu(4)N)(2){tto[Cu(dmit)](2)}, is a
ssembled using a unique and facile, three-solvent synthesis. Intrachai
n S ... S interactions are observed as a result of head-to-tail contac
ts between the thiole and thione groups of adjacent dianions. Oxidatio
n of this complex with NaI/I-2 in acetone yields black powders with co
nductivities of at least 8 orders of magnitude greater than the unoxid
ized dianion.
