During the last years there has been a high interest in the development of new\udpurely-organic single-component conductors. Very recently, we have reported a new neutral radical\udconductor based on the perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical moiety linked to a monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene\ud(MPTTF) unit by a π-conjugated bridge (1) that behaves as a semiconductor under\udhigh pressure. With the aim of developing a new material with improved conducting properties,\udwe have designed and synthesized the radical dyad 2 which was functionalized with an ethylenedithio\ud(EDT) group in order to improve the intermolecular interactions of the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)\udsubunits. The physical properties of the new radical dyad 2 were studied in detail in solution to\udfurther analyze its electronic structure.
