Some unsymmetrical metal 1,2-dithiolenes based on palladium, platinum and gold

Abstract

The unsymmetrical complexes Pd(dpedt)(dddt), Pt(dpedt)(dddt), Pd(dpedt)(dmit), and Au(dpedt)-(dddt) (where dpedt is diphenyl- ethylenedithiolate, dddt is 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithin-2,3-dithiolate and dmit is 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) were prepared and characterized. The study of their chemical and electrochemical behavior showed that they are stable in air and could be candidate materials for fabrication of field-effect transistors and other devices. © 2008 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
