A series of tetrakis( n ‐alkylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (alkyl‐methyl to octadecyl; TTC n ‐TTF ( n = 1‐18) has been synthesized. Synthesis, structure, and some physical properties of these uncapped analogues of bis(ethylenedithiolo)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT‐TTF) are described and compared with those of BEDT‐TTF. Several charge transfer complexes of TTC 1 ‐TTF are presented in terms of their electrical conductivities, ionicity, structures, and intermolecular interactions and compared with those of BEDT‐TTF compounds. Molecular conformation, mode of the sulfur‐to‐sulfur atomic contacts, and requirements for an organic metal are discussed from the viewpoint of the molecular design.
