Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a novel tetrathiafulvalene dimethyl[2,4-dioxo(1H,3H)pyrimido]tetrathiafulvalene, able to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds of nucleic acid base-pair type

Abstract

The efficient synthesis, molecular and crystal structure, chemical, spectroscopical and electrochemical properties and charge-transfer salts of dimethyl[2,4-dioxo(1H,3H)pyrimido]tetrathiafulvalene, a novel π-electron donor able to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds of nucleic acid base-pair type, are described.
