First signals of electrochemically oxidized species of TTF and TMT-TTF : a study by in situ spectroelectrochemical FTIR and DFT calculations

2003

A first study by in situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry of TTF and TTM-TTF has been undertaken. The oxidation, in this case, is caused only by electrochemistry, which constitutes a clear advantage over chemical oxidation since no side products are present in the solution. In this context, we obtained the signals of neutral, radical cation, and dication species of TTF and TTM-TTF. The experimental conditions were chosen in order to avoid the possible formation of π-dimer species and to obtain a satisfactory signal-to-noise ratio. A weak signal was detected for TTF and a stronger one for TTM-TTF. The changes induced by the oxidation process in the IR spectra of TTF and TTM-TTF have been analyze…

Electronic Interactions in a New π-Extended Tetrathiafulvalene Dimer

2006

The first pi-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) dimer in which the two exTTF units are covalently connected by 1,3-dithiole rings has been obtained in a multistep synthetic procedure involving the Ullmann cross-coupling reaction by using copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC). The electronic spectrum reveals a significant electronic interaction between the exTTF units. The electrochemical study carried out by cyclic voltammetry in solution and in thin-layer conditions, and the electrochemical simulation and spectroelectrochemical (SEC) measurements confirm the electronic communication and show that the oxidation of dimer 14 occurs as two consecutive 2 e(-) processes D(0)-D(0)-->D(2+)-D(0…

2008

A new molecular wire suitably functionalized with sulfur atoms at terminal positions and endowed with a central redox active TTF unit has been synthesized and inserted within two atomic-sized Au electrodes; electrical transport measurements have been performed in STM and MCBJ set-ups in a liquid environment and reveal conductance values around 10(-2) G0 for a single molecule.

The salt [ET]x[MnRh(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (x = 2.526(1)) has been obtained and characterized. This paramagnetic metal is essentially isostructural to the ferromagnetic metal [ET]y[MnCr(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (y approximately equal to 3) and provides a definite answer on the origin of the structural disorder present on such systems. As in the ferromagnetic analogue, this material shows high electrical conductivity at room temperature (13 S.cm(-1)) and metallic behavior.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Multicomponent Bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene Charge-Transfer Salts of the [Mo3S7Br6]2- Cluster

2005

A new family of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) radical salts has been prepared in the presence of a triangular molybdenum sulfide cluster of formula [Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 - , which contains highly electrophilic axialsulfur atoms. A systematic change in the experimental conditions yields five different salts, namely (ETA)2(ET B )[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 . CH 2 Br 2 (1), (ETA)(ET B )Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].1.1CH 2 Br 2 (2), (ETA)(ETB)(ET C ){[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ]Br}.0.5C 2 H 4 Cl 2 (3), (ET)((n-Bu 4 )N)-[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] (4), and (ET)(Ph4P)[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].0.5CH 3 CN (5), where the ET subscript denotes crystallographically independent molecules. The five compounds have been structurally characterized, a…

2007

The paramagnetic and chiral anion [Fe(C5O5)3]3- (C5O52-=croconate) has been combined with the organic donor BEDT-TTF (=ET=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) to synthesize a novel paramagnetic semiconductor with the first chirality-induced alpha phase, alpha-(BEDT-TTF)5[Fe(C5O5)3].5H2O (1), and one of the few known paramagnetic molecular metals, beta-(BEDT-TTF)5[Fe(C5O5)3].C6H5CN (2). Both compounds present layers of BEDT-TTF molecules, with the alpha or beta packing modes, alternating with layers containing the high-spin S=5/2 Fe(III) anions and solvent molecules. In the alpha phase, the alternation of the chiral [Fe(C5O5)3]3- anions along the direction perpendicular to the BEDT-TTF cha…

A new BEDT-TTF salt and polypyrrole films containing the chiral polyoxometalate [H4Co2Mo10O38]6−

2005

Abstract The chiral polyoxometalate [H4Co2Mo10O38]6− has been used in the preparation of hybrid materials in the form of crystals or polymeric films. A new radical salt of the donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF or ET) containing the two enantiomers of this polyoxometalate has been obtained by electrocrystallization. This radical salt shows semiconducting behavior with room temperature conductivity of 9 S.cm−1 and activation energy of 40 meV. Polypyrrole films doped with a racemic mixture of polyoxometalates and also the enantiomerically pure (+)589-[H4Co2Mo10O38]6− have been prepared electrochemically. Circular dichroism experiments suggest that the chiral polyoxometalate…

A Straightforward Electroactive π-Extended Tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) Building Block

2012

The synthesis and X-ray structure of a new and readily available exTTF derivative (6) bearing a methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide moiety as a new building block for the construction of electroactive molecules is reported. The phosphonium salt 6, which was prepared in one step from 2-hydroxymethyl-exTTF as a stable yellow solid in 84 % yield, efficiently undergoes Wittig olefination reactions with a variety of aldehydes to predominantly form the E isomer. Electronic spectra and cyclic voltammetry of the novel compounds reveal the electronic communication between the electroactive units.

Magnetic Molecular Conductors Based on Bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) and the Tris(chlorocyananilato)ferrate(III) Complex

2019

Electrocrystallization of the bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) organic donor in the presence of the [Fe(ClCNAn)3]3– tris(chlorocyananilato)ferrate(III) paramagnetic anion in different stoichiometric ratios and solvent mixtures afforded two different hybrid systems formulated as [BEDT-TTF]4[Fe(ClCNAn)3]·3H2O (1) and [BEDT-TTF]5[Fe(ClCNAn)3]2·2CH3CN (2) (An = anilato). Compounds 1 and 2 present unusual structures without the typical segregated organic and inorganic layers, where layers of 1 are formed by Λ and Δ enantiomers of the anionic paramagnetic complex together with mixed-valence BEDT-TTF tetramers, while layers of 2 are formed by Λ and Δ enantiomers of the paramagnetic…
