ABSTRACT: Three new radical salts, [DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2]2CuBr4 (2), DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2‚ClO4 (3), and DMT-TTF(CONHMe)2‚Br (4), have been obtained by reacting DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2 (1) with CuBr2 and Cu(ClO4)2 (DMT-TTF ) dimethylthio-tetrathiafulvalene). The [DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2]•+ cations of the three compounds are self-assembled to cation couples with short S‚‚‚S and C‚‚‚C stackings. Radical coupling was found within these TTF dimers, the intensity of which is related to the stacking distance between the coupled TTF molecules. When the S‚‚‚S stacking is of a comparative intensity, the C‚‚‚C stacking distance will play an important role in the antiferromagnetical coupling of the radicals. The intensity of the radical signals in electron spin resonance (ESR) was found to be in the order 2 < 3 < 4, which is related to the π‚‚‚π stacking distance of the central CdC bonds of the TTF moieties. The stronger the C‚‚‚C interactions are, the weaker the radical signal becomes in the ESR spectra. Introduction Recently, due to the capacity of amides to produce a regular arrangement of molecules through self-complementary association, researchers have showed interest in the preparation of tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) functionalized with amide substituents. Some monocomponent molecular solids and radical salts based on these TTF derivatives have been synthesized and characterized.1,2 TTF derivatives with a mono-amide group have been first reported by Bryce et al.,1 and some radical cation salts, such as [EDT-TTF-CONH2]2ReO4 and [EDT-TTFCONH2]6AsF6,2b have been reported by Batail et al. in 1998 (EDT-TTF ) ethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene). Lately, a series of diamide-TTF derivatives, EDT-TTF-(CONHR)2 (R ) H, Me, Et, Pr, Py, bipy, etc), were synthesized, and their radical salts have also been studied.2c-2e The incorporation of hydrogen bonds and S‚‚‚S intermolecular interactions in these compounds is one of the important factors for directing the solid-state chemistry and modifying the collective electronic properties of the molecular solids.2c,2f,2g The S‚‚‚S interaction exists widely in radical salts or charge-transfer compounds of TTFs, and, up to now, numerous studies have been reported on the crystal engineering of TTF materials.3 The TTF units are assembled into columns or dimers in these crystals with two types of S‚ ‚‚S interactions. One is S‚‚S stacking, in which the TTF units interact in a face-to-face arrangement, and the other is S‚‚‚S contact, in which the TTF units interact in a side-by-side arrangement. Short S‚‚‚S stacking within the TTF dimers is related to both magnetic properties and electric conductivity, which has been long-established by experimental and theoretical chemists.3a-c,4 Nevertheless, in contrast to the importance of S‚‚‚S stacking, π‚‚‚π stacking of carbon atoms between the central CdC bonds of TTF molecules has rarely been discussed, because in TTF salts or compounds the C‚‚‚C distance is usually * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

longer than the recognized sum of the van der Waals radii of two carbon atoms (about 3.40 Å), and thus the orbital interactions within TTF molecules are mainly located on the sulfur atoms. Herein, we present the synthesis and crystal structures of three new radical cation salts of o-bis(methylamide)-appended dimethylthio-TTF, DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2 (1) (DMT-TTF ) dimethylthio-tetrathiafulvalene). The inter-radical coupling in TTF dimers is found to be related not only to the S‚‚‚S stacking but also to the C‚‚‚C stacking between the central CdC bonds of TTF molecules.

Experimental Section General Remarks. The raw material, 1,2-bis(methyl-carboxylate)3,4-bis(methylthio)-tetrathiafulvalene, C12H12O4S6, was synthesized by a coupling method as reported.5 The precursor, 1,2-bis(methylamide)3,4-bis(methylthio)-tetrathiafulvalene, DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2 (1), was synthesized using a method reported previously.2c Elemental analyses of C, H, and N were performed using an EA 1110 elemental analyzer.

three compounds in the synthetic reactions. It is well-known that copper(II) ions can oxidize the TTF derivatives readily, providing a variety of charge-transfer (CT) salts.4,9 The Cu(II) ion is reduced to Cu(I), while the Cu(I) ion tends to be reoxidized to Cu(II) under ambient conditions. Crystals of compounds 2 and 4 were obtained by a slow evaporating method using the same reactants and solvents (THF/CH3CN) at room temperature, but the ratio of the reactants (1/CuBr2) was changed. Differing from 2 and 4, crystals of compound 3 were obtained in a mixed solvent, CH3OH/CH2Cl2, using diethylether as the diffusion solvent. The one-electron oxidization of 1 can be confirmed by the IR stretching band of the central CdC bond of the TTF unit, which are observed at 1345, 1328, and 1328 cm-1 for compounds 2-4, respectively, showing a red shift contrasted to 1403 cm-1 for the neutral 1. It is known that the central CdC bond stretching of TTF undergoes a large frequency shift on oxidation (about 50-100 cm-1).10 Considering the results of elemental analyses, spectrometry and the stoichiometry, the charge distribution might be deduced as [(TTF•+(CONHCH3)2)2(CuBr42-)], [(TTF•+(CONHCH3)2) (ClO4-)], and [(TTF•+(CONHCH3)2)Br-], which have been confirmed by X-ray crystal characterization. Description of the Structures. Compounds 2-4 are chargetransfer salts formed with 1•+ cation and CuBr42-, ClO4-, Branions, respectively. The compounds crystallized in the monoclinic (2, 4) and triclinic (3) systems with space group C2/c, P1h, and P21/n, respectively. A summary of the experimental details and selected results for compounds 2-4 are given in Table 1. The selected bond distances and angles are listed in Table 2. ORTEP diagrams of these TTF derivatives are shown in Figure 1. There is intramolecular hydrogen bond (N-H‚‚‚ O) between the two ortho amide groups in all these compounds. The TTF moieties in the salts are nearly planar, which is different from the boat-shaped structure usually found in neutral derivatives of TTF. The central CdC distances of the TTF units, C(3)-C(4), are 1.389, 1.393, and 1.388 Å, respectively, and the average S-CCdC distance of the heterocycles is about 1.738 Å, which confirms the oxidized character of the TTF donor core compared with those distances found in the neutral TTF compounds and the TTF•+ radicals.2i,2c,4b, 11 The TTF cations in the three compounds are self-assembled into molecular couples with short S‚‚‚S stacking, which is usually found in radical compounds of TTFs.3 Figure 2 illustrates the TTF dimers in these compounds. Besides the S‚‚‚S stacking, carbon-carbon π stacking of the central CdC bond was also found within these dimers for compound 2 and 3 with distance 3.357 and 3.397 Å, respectively, while the corresponding distance of 4 is 3.478(4) Å, which is weaker than the former. Between the couples, there are short S(methylthio)‚‚O(amide) contacts (3.289 Å) in compound 2. Every couple connects with four neighboring couples by these S‚‚‚O interactions, forming a bilayered two-dimensional network (Figure 3). The compound 3 self-assembled to a one-dimensional chain structure with such a S‚‚‚O short contact (3.127 Å). These important distances of the weak interactions in 2-4 are listed in Table 2. Other weak hydrogen bonds and cation-anion interactions are also important factors in governing the solid-state arrangement in complementing S‚‚‚S and π‚‚‚π interactions (Supporting Information Figures SI-1 and SI-2). π‚‚‚π Stacking of the Central CdC Bonds. It has been mentioned that there are C‚‚‚C short stackings between the central CdC bonds of the TTF units in molecular couples of 2 and 3 (3.357 and 3.397 Å, respectively, Figure 2 and Table 2), while the corresponding distance of 4 is 3.478(4) Å. Considering

that the commonly recognized distance of C‚‚‚C interactions is about 3.40 Å (the sum of the van der Waals radii of the corresponding two carbon atoms), the interaction of central Cd C bonds in 4 is weaker than those in 2 and 3. Although the shortest C‚‚‚C distance in 4 is 3.413(4) Å, C(3)‚‚‚C(3v), only slightly longer than 3.397(3) Å in 3, C(3)‚‚‚C(4iii), the interaction mode in 4 is different from those in 2 and 3 (Figure 4). The interactions of CdC π-bonds in 2 and 3 are completely overlapped, while it is not for compound 4, which reduces the efficiency of the C‚‚‚C interaction. Solid-state ESR spectra (polycrystalline sample) were measured at 110 K, and the results are revealed in Figure 5. The radicals in the dimer of 2 are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled, and therefore no sharp radical signal is observed from the ESR spectrum, which only shows a parallel and perpendicular split of Cu(II) character, CuBr42- anion, with g values

of 2.246 and 2.048 for g| and g⊥ values, respectively (Figure 5a). The ESR spectra of compound 3 and 4 show a radical signal of high intensity at 2.012 for the g value (Figure 5b), in which the strongest one belongs to compound 4. We observed that the intensity of the radical signals, in the order 2 < 3 < 4, is related to the CdC stacking distance. The strongest signal of

compound 4 is attributed to its very weak C‚‚‚C stacking (3.478 Å) between the CdC bonds. In contrast, compound 2 shows the shortest π‚‚‚π stacking (3.357 Å), which complements the S‚‚‚S stacking resulting in strong coupling of the radicals (no radical signal). There is also C‚‚‚C stacking in compound 3, but its distance of 3.397 Å is longer than that of 2. Therefore, it shows radical signal, but it is not so strong as that of 4. To ensure the rationality of the discussion above, the HOMO orbit of 1 and the spin density in SOMO of 1•+ have been calculated and depicted in Figure 6. The results are in accordance with those reported.4a,12 The orbit density or spin density on CdC bond are comparable to those on sulfur atoms, and therefore when the S‚‚‚S stacking of the compounds is of comparative intensity, the C‚‚‚C stacking distances will be important data for the antiferromagnetical coupling of the radicals.

Br (4), were obtained by reacting DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2 (1) with CuBr2 and Cu(ClO4)2. Their crystal structures have been characterized with respect to the van der Waals interactons. The TTF cations in these three compounds are self-assembled to molecular couples with short S‚‚‚S and C‚‚‚C stacking. The intensity of the radical signals in ESR was found in the order 2 < 3 < 4, which is related to the π‚‚‚π stacking distance of the CdC bonds in the TTF dimer. When the S‚‚‚S stacking is of comparative intensity, the stronger the C‚‚‚C interaction is, the weaker the radical signal becomes, in the ESR spectra. Primary theoretical calculations also support the possibility of the results. However, substantive information both from experimental and theoretical studies is needed to provide a detailed knowledge of C‚‚‚C interaction in these TTF salts. Acknowledgment.

mol‚dm-3 Bu4NClO4. Two couples of reversible redox peaks were detected (Figure 7, black line). The E1/2(1) and E1/2(2) of 1 are 0.517 and 0.803 V vs SCE. When CuBr2 is added into the above solution, the redox peaks (red line) shift by 44 mV (∆E1/2(1)) and 20 mV (∆E1/2(2)) respectively toward more positive potentials. According to the shifts, it is obvious that there are strong interactions between the TTF derivative and copper(II) bromide even in the solution. A pair of weak redox peaks at about 1.0 V should be the redox of the bromide ion. The corresponding results of the electronic absorption spectra are given in Figure 8. The red line is the spectrum recorded when CuBr2 is add into the acetonitrile solution of 1. Compared to the absorption of 1 and CuBr2, the new broad charge-transfer peak at around 800 nm should be assigned to the TTF•+ radical.13 Conclusion Three new radical salts, [DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2]2CuBr4 (2), DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2‚ClO4 (3), and DMT-TTF-(CONHMe)2‚
