Eh. Elandaloussi et al., A CATION-RADICAL SALT OF AN EXTENDED TETRATHIAFULVALENE ANALOG WITH ADIFURYLETHYLENE SPACER, New journal of chemistry, 22(10), 1998, pp. 1051-1054
The X-ray structure of a single crystal of the neutral donor 1b and it
s electrocrystallized cation radical salt, 1b . ClO4, have been analys
ed. Both the neutral and the oxidized states adopt a syn conformation
stabilized by strong intramolecular interactions that allow the preser
vation of a planar conformation during the oxidation of 1b.
