Novel Fluorine Containing Tetrathiafulvalenes for the Preparation of Langmuir-Blodgett Films
The novel fluorinated tetrathiafulvalenes: tetra(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzylthio)-, dimethyldi(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzylthio)-, dimethyldi(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzylthio)-, dimethyldi[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)benzylthio]-, and dimethyldi(2-fluoro-4-bromobenzylthio)tetrathiafulvalenes have been synthesized in order to prepare Langmuir-Blodgett films. Their cyclic voltamograms have been studied and these show two, reversible, one-electron oxidation waves. A novel series of fluorinated benzylthio- and benzoylthio-1,3-dithiole-2-thiones and -2-ones has been synthesized.
