Molecular complexes based on tetrathiafulvalene and dialkylviologens

Molecules. 2007 Apr 27;12(4):853-60. doi: 10.3390/12040853.

Abstract

Three kinds of molecular complexes based on tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and dialkylviologens were prepared and their crystal structures elucidated. While TTF-dimethylviologen complex forms a mixed stack arrangement of donors and acceptors in its crystal structure, TTF donors aggregate with long alkyl groups by CH/pi and/or van der Waals interactions in a couple of TTF-heptylviologen complexes.
