Transformation of double hydrogen-bonding motifs of TTF-uracil system by redox change
A TTF derivative with an N-1-tert-butyluracil moiety, TtbU, was prepared as a new electron-donor molecule capable of multiple hydrogen-bondings. Formation of the two different types of double hydrogen-bonding motifs, Watson-Crick and reverse Watson-Crick types, was demonstrated for the first time between TtbU and its I-3(-) salt in the crystalline states.
