摘要

The cross-coupling reactions of 4,5-dicyano-1,3-dithiol-2-one (3) and 4,5-bis(alkylthio)- and 4,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-1,3-dithiole-2-thiones (4a-e) gave asymmetrical 2,3-dicyanotetrathiafulvalenes (5a-e) having electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents at the 6,7-positions under high dilution condition. A pyrrole-fused tetrathiafulvalene (5f) was also obtained. Their electrochemical behaviors were measured by means of cyclic voltammetry.
