Molecular Compounds Exhibiting Coupled Conducting and Magnetic Properties and Based on (cation)n[M(dmit)]2 and (BETS)2(anion) Salts

Abstract
A systematic study has been carried out on a range of metal complexes of the type (cation)n[M(dmit)2] (cation = NHyR4-y; y = 1 or 2; n = x, 1, 2; R = ethyl, propyl or butyl, or cation = organic radical cations containing one or two TTF moieties; M = Ni or Pd and dmit = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato). The synthesis of these complexes, the crystal structure of (NHBu3)2[Ni(dmit)2] and neutral [Ni(dmit)2], their solution redox behaviour and the solid state conductivities of the non-integer oxidation state compounds obtained by electrocrystallization techniques are presented. Synthesis, structure and properties of new compounds of the family of (BETS)2(anion) compounds with (CuxCly)n- and [(FeCl4)1−x(GaCl4)x] anions are described.
