Novel Molecular Conductors Based on Cyclopenteno-TTP Showing Strong Self-aggregation
Several molecular conductors based on CP-TTP, where CP-TTP is 2-(4,5-cyclopenteno-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-5-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3 ,4,6-tetrathiapentalene, have been prepared. X-ray structure analyses revealed that all the CP-TTP conductors obtained so far have beta-type array of the donors regardless of the counter anions. Among them, the ReO4- and Au(CN)(2)(-) salts exhibited metallic conducting behavior down to 10K.
