Activating both Halogen and Chalcogen Bonding Interactions in Cation Radical Salts of Iodinated Tetrathiafulavalene Derivatives
Résumé
Halogen bonding (XB) interactions are investigated in cation radical salts of bis(methylthio)-5,5'-diiodotetrathiafulvalene (1). Electrocrystallization of 1 in the presence of Bu NCl affords a 1 1 salt formulated as (E-1)Cl. Particularly strong I⋅⋅⋅Cl XB interactions are observed around the Cl anion with the distances at 78 % the sum of the van der Waals radii, a consequence of the XB charge activation in the cation radical. Moreover, the Cl environment is complemented by two extra S⋅⋅⋅Cl chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions, an original feature among reported halide salts of TTF derivatives. Electrostatic potential calculations on the cation radical further demonstrate the efficient activation of the S atoms of the 1,3-dithiole rings (V =87.2 kcal/mol), as strong as with the iodine atoms (V =87.9 kcal/mol). The radical cations form weakly dimerized stacks, as confirmed by the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and the weak conductivity (4.8×10 S cm ).
