Abstract:
A process for the preparation of peri-dichalcogeno polycyclic aromatic compounds by preparing in a first step, in an amidic solvent, an alkali metal sulfide, selenide or telluride which, in a second step, is reacted with a peri-halogeno aromatic compound, which process comprises reacting in said first step an alkali metal base with elemental sulfur, selenium or tellurium at elevated temperature.

Abstract:
Chalcogen-substituted perylenes of the formula I ##STR1## wherein X is S or Se can be obtained in a simple manner, under mild reaction conditions and in pure form by heating a compound of the formula II ##STR2## in nitrobenzene, or in a mixture of nitrobenzene and an organic solvent miscible therewith and inert under the reaction conditions, in the presence of a Lewis acid or a protonic acid at 20.degree. to 120.degree. C. The perylenes of the formula I are used for example as donors for the production of organic conductors or semiconductors (charge-transfer-salts).

Abstract:
As a result of the action of electron acceptors, for example chlorine, bromine and/or iodine, on compositions containing a linear, branched or structurally crosslinked polymer and an unsubstituted or substituted tetrathionaphthalene, tetraselenonaphthalene, tetratelluronaphthalene, tetrathiotetracene, tetraselenotetracene or tetratellurotetracene, electrical conductivity is imparted to the compositions through the formation of charge-transfer complexes. These compositions are suitable for the production of mouldings, filaments, fibres, coatings and composite materials which have an antistatic finish or are electrically conducting.
