Vy. Khodorkovsky et al., PHENYL GROUPS AS MOLECULAR FASTENERS - PHENYLTELLURO-SUBSTITUTED TETRATHIAFULVALENES, Advanced materials, 6(9), 1994, pp. 656-659
Phenyltelluro-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, for example those
shown in the Figure, are reported to exhibit one-component two-dimensi
onal networks of shortened molecular interactions and electrical condu
ctivities that are unusually high for neutral organic molecules. Evide
nce for stacking of TTF groups-despite the bulky phenyl groups-is pres
ented.
