abstract
Reactions of the organic donors tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), o-dimethyltetrathiafulvalene (o-Me2TTF), tetramethyltetrathiafulvalene (TMTTF), and tetrathiafulvalene tetrathiolate [TTF(SCH2CH2CN)4] with oxidizing agents of suitable potential resulted in the formation of stable salts in which the donors are present in their monocationic radical forms. The salts presented herein represent a series of reagents containing oxidized chalcofulvalene donors that can be used as starting materials for metathesis reactions with other cations. All of the salts were characterized by X-ray crystallography and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy. 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
