Despite strong twisting of the conjugated system, the tetrathiafulvalene homologue 1 reacts with the electron acceptor tetracyanoquinonodimethane to give the dication 12⊕. The anthracene moiety is embedded in the 12⊕ [(TCNQ)4]2⊖, and the dithiol rings are twisted 86° with respect to the anthracene plane: The 1:4 stoichiometry of the highly conductive salt (σ300K = 60S cm−1) is very unusual for TCNQ complexes.
