The redox properties of 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxyselenanthrene and 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxythianthrene have been studied in solution in order to compare their potential applicability as charge-transfer donors. The selenium compound is the weaker reductant, yielding a stable radical cation and a reactive dication, the former dimerizing in solution. Electron spin resonance and visible absorption spectra of the stable species were obtained. The 1:1 charge-transfer complexes of the above donors with tetracyanoquinodimethane are found to be insulators.
