X-ray data were collected at 294 K on an Enraf Nonius Mach 3 four circles diffractometer equipped with a graphite monochromator utilizing Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). The structure was solved by direct methods (SIR) using MoIEN package programs [Crystal Structure Analysis: Molecular Enraf-Nonius (MoIEN), 1990. Delft Instruments X-ray Diffraction. B. V. Rontnenweg 1, 2624 BD Delft, The Netherlands] and was refined on F by the full-matrix least-squares method using anisotropic thermal parameters for S and isotropic ones for C. No absorption corrections were made. The H atoms were included in the calculation without refinement.

37. 23 measured an ESR signal in their studies of the TMT-TTF radical cation. However, in light of their deviating spectral data, we question if their solution did, in fact, contain the pure and fully mono-oxidized TMT-TTF.
