Novel highly extended and sulfur rich tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives through an unprecedented TTF core building process

Abstract

A new and unexpected tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) core building process is observed via reaction of a 1,3-dithiole phosphonate anion with a 2-oxo-1,3-dithiole functionality.
