Novel [60]fullerene-TTF cyclohexene fused polyadducts: unprecedented tri- and tetra-Diels-Alder adducts of dimethylidene[2H]tetrathiafulvalenes with C-60
D. Kreher et al., Novel [60]fullerene-TTF cyclohexene fused polyadducts: unprecedented tri- and tetra-Diels-Alder adducts of dimethylidene[2H]tetrathiafulvalenes with C-60, TETRAHEDR L, 42(20), 2001, pp. 3447-3450
The title compounds, which are formed in very low yields by treating 2,3-bi
s(bromomethyl)tetrathiafulvalenes with naked iodide in the presence of C-60
, can be obtained in much higher yields by successive similar treatments of
the major adducts produced at each step. The electrochemical properties of
the unprecedented tri- and tetra-TTF/C-60 assemblies are also presented. (
