Ability of Substituted Perylenes to Form Organic Conductors

Abstract The changes on the frontier orbitals of perylene upon substitution of the hydrogen atoms by sulfur or short alkyl groups in several positions are analysed. A qualitative discussion on the importance of such changes in the ability of the resulting compounds to originate one-dimensional organic conductors of the radical-cation salts type, is presented. Perylene and perylene derivatives, previously used in the preparation of organic conductors, are used as a guiding reference.
