Bis- and tris-fused π-electron donors composed of extended tetrathiafulvalene with anthraquinoid spacers (4 and 5) were successfully synthesized. X-ray structure analysis of tetrakis(methylthio)-5 (5a) revealed that the molecule adopted a transoid–cisoid conformation. The cyclic voltammogram of 4a is composed of two pairs of two-electron redox waves, while the cyclic voltammogram of tetrakis(hexylthio) derivative 5b consists of one pair of four-electron redox waves and one pair of two-electron redox waves, respectively. Spectroelectrochemistry of 4a and 1H NMR spectrum of a 4b salt revealed that two positive charges in 42+ are distributed mainly on one TTFAQ (9,10-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene) moiety.

Abstract

Understanding the details of the electronic structure in face-to-face arranged tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) is very important for the design of supramolecular functional materials and superior conductive organic materials. This article is a comprehensive study of the interactions among columnar stacked TTFs using trimeric (trimer) and tetrameric (tetramer) TTFs linked by alkylenedithio groups (-S(CH2)nS-, n=1–4) as models of triple- and quadruple-decker TTF arrays. Single-crystal X-ray analyses of neutral trimeric TTFs revealed that the three TTF moieties are oriented in a zigzag arrangement. Cyclic voltammetry measurements (CV) reveal that the trimer and tetramer exhibited diverse reversible redox processes with multi-electron transfers, depending on the length of the -S(CH2)nS- units and substituents. The electronic spectra of the radical cations, prepared by electrochemical oxidation, showed charge resonance (CR) bands in the NIR/IR region (1630–1850 nm), attributed to a mixed valence (MV) state of the triple- and quadruple-decker TTF arrays. In the trimeric systems, the dicationic state (+2; 0.66 cation per TTF unit) was found to be a stable state, whereas the monocationic state (+1) was not observed in the electronic spectra. In the tetrameric system, substituent-dependent redox processes were observed. Moreover, π-trimers and π-tetramers, which show a significant Davydov blueshift in the spectra, are formed in the tricationic (trimer) and tetracationic (tetramer) state. In addition, these attractive interactions are strongly dependent on the length of the linkage unit.

Pentakis-fused TTF derivatives extended with two cyclohexene-1,4-diylidenes (2a and 2b) have been successfully synthesized. Cyclic voltammetry of the tetrakis(2-ethylhexylthio) derivative (2b) has revealed that it exhibits five stages of the redox process to form 2b10+. A coin-type cell composed of a positive electrode incorporating the tetrakis(methylthio) derivative (2a) exhibits a discharge capacity of 196 mA h g−1, which corresponds to participation of a ten electron redox. It shows a high performance of energy density of 700 mW h g−1 and an output power density of 69 W g−1 with a relatively stable cycle-life performance (72% of the initial discharge capacity after 30 cycles).

Novel bis- and tris-fused tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) analogs possessing [5]radialene with quintuple 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene moieties (2–4) were successfully synthesized. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry revealed that they exhibited a simultaneous four- or eight-electron transfer process. It is suggested that four positive charges are distributed mainly over each of one or two DT[5]radialene units in 24+, 34+, and 48+.
