Abstract

The crystal structure of (DMtTSF)₂ReO₄ (2 C₁₁H₁₂Se₄^1⁄2+·ReO₄⁻) was determined at room temperature. The structure is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with cell dimensions a=28.518(2), b=7.327(1), c=14.364(1) Å β=109.84(1)°, Z=4. The DMtTSF molecules stack along the b axis to form a zigzag column. The interstack contacts between Se atoms are shorter than those in (TMTSF)₂X. These contacts indicate that (DMtTSF)₂ReO₄ has a higher two-dimensional character than (TMTSF)₂X.
