Abstract

Introduction of one benzoyl functional group into the 4-position of monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene (MPTTF) affords MPTTF derivatives incorporating one hydrogen-bonding donor and one acceptor­. This results in dimerization of the MPTTF derivatives in solution and in the solid state.

Key words

tetrathiafulvalene - functionalization - benzoylation - dimerization - pyrroles
