Abstract

Naphtho[2,1-d:6,5-d′]bis([1,2,3]dithiazole) NT, prepared by a ‘double Herz’ condensation of 2,6-diaminonaphthalene with S2Cl2, can be electrooxidized to the conductive, π-stacked mixed valence salt [NT]3[BF4]2.

  12. The S–S and S–N bonds should be shortened, and the C–N bonds lengthened, by oxidation. Thus the S–S, S–N and N–C distances in NT are, respectively, 2.0950(7), 1.6430(18) and 1.310(3)Å. The corresponding mean distances in [NT]3[BF4]2 are: molecule A, 2.0854(19), 1.641(4), 1.304(6)Å; molecule B, 2.056(7), 1.603(7), 1.329(6)Å.
