Synthesis and properties of polymeric bis (ethylenedithio)- tetrathiafulvalenes

摘要

A polymer containing bis (ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene moiety was synthesized and its electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The charge transfer complexes of the polymer with TCNQ and I_2 were obtained by chemical oxidation in dichlorobenzene. All them are semi-conductors. A film of the polymer was obtained by casting. Its conductivity, after oxidation with iodine, is 2.24×10~-6S·cm~-1 and its conducting state is stable in air.
