Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Studies of New Charge Transfer Compounds Obtained by Reaction of TTF and the Polyoxoanion [Mo6O19]2−
ABSTRACTTwo different tetrathiafulvalene radical cation salts of the [M06O19]2−polyoxoanion have been isolated and characterized. Compound 1 corresponds to the chemical formula (TTF)3[Mo6019]. The crystal structure shows a ID stack of the donor TTF molecule, and each stack fits into channels formed by the anions. Within the stack a chain of trimers is identified, the inter-trimeric distance being 3.51 Å. The I.R., electronic and XPS spectra suggest the compound to be a mixed-valence salt. The electrical conductivity at room temperature is σ = 10−4Ω−1cm−1Compound 2 corresponds to the chemical+formula (TTF)2[M06019] . The compound consists of isolated (TTF+•)2dimers, interspersed with the polyoxoanions. In agreement with this crystal structure the compound is a diamagnetic insulator.
