Heterofulvalene geminal dithiolate compounds and their selenium and tellurium analogs and a method of fabricating the same

Abstract

The invention is directed to novel heterofulvalene geminal dithiolate compounds and their selenium and tellurium analogs having the general formula ##STR1## Wherein X is selected from S, Se and Te. R is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, or together form a ring of carbon atoms, cyano and dithiocarbonate groups and R.sup.1 is selected from alkali, alkaline earth and transition metals, alkyl, aryl, cyclic and heterocyclic groups. A novel method for preparing these compounds is also provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
