✦ Synopsis

A great interest has been stimulated in the 1:l complex of tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) by the finding of the unusual electric and magnetic properties.' In connection with our studies on TTF2 we have examined the preparation of a tetrathioquinodimethane (TTQ)-type3 organic sulfur donor compound, which has more conjugated structure than TTF. TTF TTQ This paper describes the charge-transfer complex formation of the diphenyl derivative of TTQ by lithium iodide reduction of the corresponding sulfur-stabilized dication. The synthetic sequence is summarized in Scheme I.
