Interdigitated conducting tetrathiafulvalene-based coordination networks
Here, assembly of a novel ethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene (EDT-TTF) derivative bearing two adjacent 4-thiopyridyl groups with M(NCS)2 nodes (M = Fe, Co) leads to two isostructural 1D coordination polymers showing an enhancement of their electronic conductivity by six orders of magnitude (10 –6 vs. 10 –12 S cm –1 ), upon surface oxidation by iodine and subsequent generation of EDT-TTF-based radicals.
