Abstract
The remarkable one-dimensional conductivity exhibited by the charge tr ansfer complex formed from tetrathiafulvalene (FFT) and tetracyanoquin odimethane has sparked attempts to synthesize related organic metals. In particular, the possibility of utilizing alternative pi-donors has attracted considerable attention. In this article, the synthesis and e lectrochemical characterization of a number of TTF analogues with diff erent olefinic and heterocyclic spacer groups are described.
