Abstract
Abstract 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene (HMTP) is known to exhibit multiple reversible oxidation states. We report on the synthesis and the physical properties of stable monocation, dication, and alloy salts between HMTP and ClO 4 − . The monocation salt, HMTP-ClO 4 , is a half-filled band, quasi one-dimensional semiconductor with a possible spin-Peierls transition at 240K. The dication is also found to be a semiconductor.
