The title tetraselenafulvalene (BET-TSF) and four related hybrid diselenadi
thiafulvalenes (STF) have been synthesized as a five-membered heterocycle-f
used tetrathiafulvalene type of novel electron donors, which form highly co
nducting molecular complexes with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane. In part
icular, the complex of BET-TSF shows a room-temperature conductivity of 260
0 S cm(-1), which is of the highest class for a molecular complex.
