Synthesis of square-planar complexes and the corresponding TTF's derivative
s with 4-(substituted)1,2-dithiolene as ligands can be achieved starting fr
om the corresponding thione or ketone in an ethoxide solution. Complexes of
Ni(ll) and Au(lll) have been prepared using 4-(p-Cyanophenyl) and 4-(4-pyr
idil)1,3-dithiole-2-thione as precursors.
