Synthesis and properties of tetrathiafulvalene-metal bisdithiolene macromolecules

Reaction of tetrasodium tetrathiafulvalene-tetrathiolate with transition metal salts leads to the formation of tetrathiafulvalene-metal bisdithiolene oligomers which in the case of the nickel derivative possesses unusually high conductivity (ca. 30 Ω-1 cm-1).
