New Multi-Sulfur 1,2-Dithiolene Complexes. Preparation, Structure, and Electrochemical Properties

Abstract
New multi-sulfur 1,2-dithiolene complexes in which the 1,2-dithiolene moiety is extended by incorporating heterorings have been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction method, and cyclic voltammetry. Partial oxidation of these complexes are expected to provide the multi-dimensional molecular conductors. Electrochemical properties of these complexes are compared with those of the dmit-complexes (dmit=2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate).
