Preparation of conductive charge transfer complexes containing polynitrophenolates (TNBP, picrate, trinitroresorcinolate)

A variety of charge transfer complexes were prepared between TTF-series don or and polynitrophenolate anions using tetranitrobiphenyldiolate (TNBP2-), picrate (Pic(-)) and trinitroresorcinolate (TNR2-). Two novel ET complexes, (ET)(2)(Pic(-))(THF) and (ET)(2)(HTNR-). are semiconductive and ET layers construct alpha " -type packing, The magnetic susceptibility of (ET)(2)(Pid )(THF) follows the alternating chain model in the high temperature range. T he TNBP2- complex with TMTSF and TMTTF exhibit novel stacking pattern in wh ich one-dimentinal (1-D) donor column is surrounded on all sides by the ani on columns. The molecular plane of TNBP2- is parallel to the 1-D donor colu mn. Mixed-stack CT complexes of H2TNBP, (TTF)(H2TNBP) and (DBTTF)(H2TNBP), were also obtained.
