Abstract: A novel organic dianion, N,N'-Disulfo-1,4-benzoquinonediimine (1) has been prepared, which is a strong electron acceptor. The reduction potential of the PPh₄ salt indicates that 1 is a stronger acceptor than DDQ (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone). The dianionic acceptor provided a BEDT-TTF salt, (BEDT-TTF)₄1·3H₂O, the structures and physical properties of which are reported.

Keywords: organic conductor; BEDT-TTF; hole doping effect; anionic acceptor; transport properties; magnetic properties
