Abstract
Tetrathiafulvalene dicarboxylate was oxidized in water using potassium persulfate or a platinum anode to produce a stable cation radical. Vi s-near-infrared spectra and ESR spectra showed that the cation radical s aggregated to form pi-dimers and, at concentrations above 2 mM, pi-s tacks with an optical conduction band near 2400 nm.
