A. Tsubouchi et al., ,6-TETRAKIS(ISOPROPYLTHIO)THIENO[3,4-C]THIOPHENIUM BIS(TETRAFLUOROBORATE) - X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A STABLE THIENO[3,4-C]THIOPHENE DICATION, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 31(2), 1994, pp. 325-328
The structure of the ,4,6-tetrakis(isopropylthio)thieno[3,4-c]thiophen
e dication (2) prepared from ,4,6-tetrakis(isopropylthio)thieno[3,4-c]
thiophene (1) by two-electron oxidation was investigated by X-ray crys
tallographic analysis. The results revealed that the positive charges
are largely delocalized on the two i-PrS-C-C-C-SPr-i moieties.
