TETRATHIAFULVALENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

ORANGE TO BROWNISH CRYSTALS OR CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

Electron donor for supramolecular synthesis,1 charge-transfer complex synthesis2 with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (cat. no. 157635), and for electron transfer to diazonium salts.3

Uses

Tetrathiafulvalene, holds wide application in HPLC, NMR. This heterocyclic compound contributed to the development of molecular electronics. They are used as a organic super conductors.

Uses

Molecular sensors; radical catalyst.

Definition

ChEBI: Tetrathiafulvalene is a member of the class of fulvalenes that is ethene substituted by 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene groups at positions 1 and 2. It is an organosulfur heterocyclic compound and a member of fulvalenes.

General Description

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is an electron-donor which consists of oligomers, dendrimers and polymers which can be used in the formation of redox macromolecules.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from cyclohexane/hexane under an argon atmosphere [Kauzlarich et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 4561 1987]. [Beilstein 19/11 V 380.]
