Synthesis and properties of TTP analog with a cyclohexene ring inserted
A new tetrathiapentalene (TTP) type donor, 2-(2-cyclohexenediylidene-1,3-dithiole)-5-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (CHDTDT), has been prepared. Cyclic voltammogram of CHDTDT showed three pairs of redox waves at 0.00 (2e), +0.42 (1e) and +0.66 (1e) V (vs, Ag/Ag+, in PhCN). CHDTDT has yielded several metallic radical cation salts. Among them, the AsF6 salt exhibited metallic conductivity down to 4.2 K.
