Facile synthesis of novel functionalized bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) derivatives.
An improved and efficient synthetic route to four functionalized bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) derivatives 2-5 is reported. Tetrathiolate 1 was readily prepared from 2,2'-bis(1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalen-5-one) under carefully controlled conditions. Subsequent reaction of 1 with selected primary alkyl halides affords new functionalized BEDT-TTF derivatives in good yields.
