29 Metal Tetrathiolenes: Chemistry, Stereochemistry, Electrochemistry, and Semiconductivity

A class of organochalcogen two chalcogen-chalcogen

compounds containing one or

bonds was chosen as ligands for

organometallic synthesis. New discrete molecular complexes containing two, four, and six metal atoms were

prepared

and characterized. These cluster systems exhibit rich electro­ chemistry as established by cyclic voltammetry and unusual stereochemistry as revealed by x-ray crystallography. A new class of organometallic polymers based on these ligands was synthesized

and

characterized.

Temperature-dependent

electrical conductivity measurements revealed

semiconduc­

tivity consistent with pseudo-one-dimensionality.

Electrical

conductivity can be correlated with the oxidation potential of the free ligands.

These new semiconducting

organo­

metallic polymers can be used as reversible anode materials for a rechargeable battery system.
