X-ray diffractional analysis of lc (DOES) revealed that the conformation at the 1,4-dioxane ring fusion site is cis similar to the case of DOET. Several cation-radical salts based on 1 b and lc exhibited metallic conducting behavior. keywords: DOET derivatives,

1. Introduction It has been considered important to use planar donor for developing organic metals in order to obtain an effective overlap interaction between molecules in donor stacks. In contrast, we have already reported that DOET [( 1,4-dioxanediyl-2,3-dithio)ethylenedithio-TTF] and DOES [( 1,4-dioxanediyl-2,3-dithio)ethylenediselena-TTF] produced metallic salts, although these donors are not planar molecules due to cis fusion of a bulky 1,4dioxane ring [l]. In this paper we describe the synthesis, molecular structure and electrochemical properties of other selenium derivatives of DOET and DTET [(I ,4-dithianediyl-2,3dithio)ethylenedithio-TTF] [2] together with DOES and electrical properties of the radical-cation salts based on these donors.

2. Results and discussion Synthesis of la-c and Za-c was achieved by (Me0)3Ppromoted cross-coupling between the corresponding ketones and thiones or ketone in benzene [3]. The oxidation potentials of la-c and 2a-c were determined by cyclic voltammetry. All donors showed two pairs of reversible redox waves. The value of the first oxidation potential (V vs. SCE) of la-c (la:+0.55, +0.85V; lb:+0.52, +0.8OV; lc:+O.54, +0.84V) were almost same to those of the corresponding 1,4-dithiane derivatives (2a:+0.56, +0.86V; 2b:+0.53, +0.8OV; 2c:+O.56, +0.86V). Both the EI and E2 values of lc are slightly lower than those of the prototype DOET (+0.58, +0.88V). The molecular structure of lc was determined by X-ray diffractional analysis [4]. As shown in Fig. 1, the conformation of the 1,4-dioxane ring fusion site is cis, which makes this molecule non-planar. This molecular structure is same to that of DOET.

crystal structure, metal All radical-cation salts of lb except for AsF6 salt exhibited semiconductive behavior, whereas AsF6 salt was metallic down to 15 K. DOES yielded semiconductors with relatively small activation energy and metallic salts with At& and I3-. The crystal structure of AuI2- salt was revealed to be almost isostructural to the metallic (DOET) 2BF4 except for the donor to anion ratio. [l] Table 1.
