Abstract
4,5-Bis(dodecylthio)- and 4,5-bis(octadecylthio)-4′,5′-bis(methoxycarbonyl)tetrathiafulvalenes (1a and 1b) exhibit gelling ability for hexane, cyclohexane, decalin, and diethyl ether to form electroactive fibrous material with 5–10 μm diameters. The doping of bunches of fibers with iodine shows moderate electrical conductivities (σrt = 2.9 × 10−3–2.0 × 10−5 S cm−1).
