Phenyl groups as molecular fasteners: Phenyltelluro‐substituted tetrathiafulvalenes

Phenyltelluro–tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, for example those shown in the Figure, are reported to exhibit one‐component two‐dimensional networks of shortened molecular interactions and electrical conductivities that are unsually high for neutral organic molecules. Evidence for stacking of TTF groups—despite the bulky phenyl groups—is presented. magnified image
