1,1-Bis(3',4,4'-trimethyltetrathiafulvalen-3-yl)ethanol Ethanol Hemisolvate; a New Bifunctional π-Donor Molecule

The title compound, {1,1-bis[2-(4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-5-methyl-1,3-dithiol-4-yl]ethanol ethanol hemisolvate, C₂₀H₂₂OS₈.0.5C₂H₅OH}, contains bridged tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) molecules. The two TTF moieties of the bifunctional donor are quasi-orthogonal. Donor layers and hydrogen-bonded solvent layers alternate along the c axis.
