Electroconductive charge transfer complexes of 2,4,6-tricyano-s-triazine and of 3,6-dicyano-1,2,4,5-tetrazine with tetrathiafulvalene

Abstract

Tetrathiafulvalene afforded 1 : 1 charge transfer complexes with 3,6-dicyano-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and 2,4,6-tricyano-s-triazine: the former showed good electrical conductivity, thus proving that the attainment of aromaticity in the formed radical anion is not a necessary requisite for conductivity; the latter is a semi-conducting product which is converted by water into a new good electroconductive material.
