Abstract

Langmuir-Blodgett films of (octadecylethylenedithio)(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (1, BEDT-TTF-C18H37), mixed with 10–20% tricosanoic or stearic acid, have room-temperature conductivity values as high as σrt = 10−1 S cm−1 as-deposited, and σrt = 1.0 S cm−1 after iodine doping. Moreover, these values are stable upon storage of the films for up to 4 weeks in air. The LB films have been characterized by UV-visible and IR spectroscopy and by cyclic voltammetry.
