Zwitterionic π-radical involving EDT-TTF-imidazole and F_4TCNQ: redox properties and self-assembled structure by hydrogen-bonds and multiple S···S interactions

摘要

The reaction between an imidazole-functionalized EDT-TTF and F_4TCNQ produced a zwitterionic π-radical, which formed a self-assembled structure by the cooperation of hydrogen-bonds and multiple S···S interactions and exhibited three-step oxidation processes and a high electrical conductivity as a single-component organic molecule.
