Synthesis and properties of novel tetrathiafulvalene vinylogues

Abstract

The cation radical states of novel TTF vinylogues with o-substituted phenyl groups at the vinyl positions are thermodynamically stable, and X-ray analyses of the cation radical salts have revealed the planar structures of the TTF vinylogue parts and unique crystal structures.
