Abstract
Abstract In order to improve the donor character of 1,4,5,8-tetrachalcogenonaphthalene as the simplest example of TTT homologues, we have studied the syntheses and properties of the title compounds. They were successfully prepared via 1,4,5,8-tetrachloro derivatives of the corresponding alkyl naphthalenes. The alkyl groups serve to enhance not only their donor strength but also solubilities, facilitating their complexation. A variety of their charge-transfer complexes and radical cation salts were thus prepared by means of a mixing method or an electrocrystallization method. Some of them are electrically highly conductive.
