Abstract
This review aims to give an overview of the current status of our research on the synthesis of π-electron donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF, ET) analogues prepared from 1,8-diketones via a ring forming reaction. The new synthesized π-electron donors have vinyl moieties producing extended π-electron delocalization over the substituent phenyl rings at the peripheries.
Highlights
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, 1, Figure 1) was first synthesized in 1960s by Klingsberg’s method [1]
This review aims to give an overview of the current status of our research on the synthesis of π-electron donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF, ET) analogues prepared from 1,8-diketones via a ring forming reaction
Among a large number of tetrathiafulvalene analogues, bis(ethyleneditiho)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF, 3), known as ET, has been the most studied and has had the largest number of radical cation salts of its CT materials investigated at very low temperature [12,21,22,23,24]
Summary
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, 1, Figure 1) was first synthesized in 1960s by Klingsberg’s method [1]. Studies have been focused on the syntheses of donor TTF analogues and investigations of the physical properties of their charge-transfer (CT) salts with various acceptors for applications such as electrically conductive materials, super conductive materials, magnetic substances, electrochromic materials, electroluminescent materials, etc. Among a large number of tetrathiafulvalene analogues, bis(ethyleneditiho)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF, 3), known as ET, has been the most studied and has had the largest number of radical cation salts of its CT materials investigated at very low temperature [12,21,22,23,24]
