superconductors, there is an increasing interest in molecules with extended x-conjugated frameworks[l]. This is because such molecules can stabilize multi-cation states and increase intermolecular interactions. However, only a few conducting metal complexes with elongated dithiolene-type ligands have been prepared [2,3]. Usually,the solubility of extended-ligand complexesis poor. In order to increase solubility, we prepared anew ligand ptdt2- whichincorporates an additional methylene group into etdt2‘. The long ligand will be preferably favorable for increasing overlapping between the molecules. Each of the two tetrathiafulvalene transition metal atom will
