2,3,4,5-Tetrakis[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]tetrathiafulvalene tetrafluoroborate.
The title complex, C(14)H(20)O(4)S(8)(+)(.)BF(4)(-), is a charge-transfer complex with typical charges for the donor and anion of +1 and -1, respectively. Two centrosymmetrically related donors form a face-to-face pi-dimer with a strong intermolecular S.S interaction. These pi-dimers stack along the a axis to form a donor column. The structure is extensively hydrogen bonded.
