ORGANIC METALS: ELECTROCRYSTALLIZATION OF THE COMPLEXES OF NAPHTHACENO[5,6-cd:11,12-cd′]BIS[1,2]DITHIOLE AND THEIR ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITIES

Abstract
The complexes of naphthaceno[5,6-cd:11,12-c′d′]bis[1,2]dithiole with inorganic anions (Cl−, Br−, I−, Clo4−, BF4−, PF6−, and SbF6−) were obtained as crystals by an electrochemical technique. The temperature dependences of their electrical conductivities were measured. The PF6 complexes showed 762 (Ω cm)−1 at room temperature, and it was metallic above 220 K.
