Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of protected tetraethynyltetrathiaf ulvalenes (1a and 1b) is reported. The cation radical of 1a has a slig htly more positive oxidation potential (E-ox0/1 = 0.63 V vs Ag/AgCl) t han TTF. Stable CT solids can be prepared with iodine and TCNQF(4). Th ese compounds are the first members of a series of highly unsaturated ?TF derivatives having in-plane pi-orbitals. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
