Towards Single-component Molecular Conductor [Ni（dmit）2 ] by Charge Disproportionation： 2[Ni（dmit）2]^0.5→[Ni（dmit）2 ]＋ [Ni（dmit）2]^-

A new method of synthesizing single-component molecular conductor [Ni(dmit)2] bythe reaction 2(Me4N)[Ni(dmit)2]2→ [Ni(dmit)2] (Me4N)[Ni(dmit)2] is reported. [Ni(dmit)2]exhibits a semiconductive behavior above 167 K, while from 167 K down to the measuring limit of 60 K, it exhibits metallic conductivity.     

Towards Single-component Molecular Conductor [Ni(dmit)_2] by Charge Disproportionation:2[Ni(dmit)_2]~(-0.5)[Ni(dmit)_2]+[Ni(dmit)_2]~-

It was commonly thought that a molecular conductor or semiconductor should be composed of at least two components to make the conducting component in partially charged state. However, this idea became questionable by the recent report of the single-component molecular conductor [Ni(tmdt)2]1 as well as several reports about single-component molecular semiconductors such as [Ni(ptdt)2]2 and [Ni(C10H10S8)2]3. In fact, as early as 1985, [Ni(dmit)2] as a by-product in synthesizing TTF[Ni(dmit…     

Solid-state molecular rotators of anilinium and adamantylammonium in [Ni(dmit)2](-) salts with diverse magnetic properties

Supramolecular rotators of hydrogen-bonding assemblies between anilinium (Ph-NH 3 (+)) or adamantylammonium (AD-NH 3 (+)) and dibenzo[18]crown-6 (DB[18]crown-6) or meso-dicyclohexano[18]crown-6 (DCH[18]crown-6) were introduced into [Ni(dmit) 2] salts (dmit (2-) is 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). The ammonium moieties of Ph-NH 3 (+) and AD-NH 3 (+) cations were interacted through N-H (+) approximately O hydrogen bonding with the six oxygen atoms of crown ethers, forming 1:1 supramolecular rotator-stator structures. X-ray crystal-structure analyses revealed a jackknife-shaped conformation of DB[18]crown-6, in which two benzene rings were twisted along the same direction, in (Ph-NH 3 (+))(DB[18]crown-6)[Ni(dmit) 2] (-) ( 1) and (AD-NH 3 (+))(DB[18]crown-6)[Ni(dmit) 2] (-) ( 3), whereas the conformational flexibility of two dicyclohexyl rings was observed in (Ph-NH 3 (+))(DCH[18]crown-6)[Ni(dmit) 2] (-) ( 2) and (AD-NH 3 (+))(DCH[18]crown-6)[Ni(dmit) 2] (-) ( 4). Sufficient space for the molecular rotation of the adamantyl group was achieved in the crystals of salts 3 and 4, whereas the rotation of the phenyl group in salts 1 and 2 was rather restricted by the nearest neighboring molecules. The rotation of the adamantyl group in salts 3 and 4 was evidenced from the temperature-dependent wide-line (1)H NMR spectra, dielectric properties, and X-ray crystal structure analysis. ab initio calculations showed that the potential energy barriers for the rotations of adamantyl groups in salts 3 (Delta E approximately 18 kJmol (-1)) and 4 (Delta E approximately 15 kJmol (-1)) were similar to those of ethane ( approximately 12 kJmol (-1)) and butane (17-25 kJmol (-1)) around the C-C single bond, which were 1 order of magnitude smaller than those of phenyl groups in salts 1 (Delta E approximately 180 kJmol (-1)) and 2 (Delta E approximately 340 kJmol (-1)). 1D or 2D [Ni(dmit) 2] (-) anion arrangements were observed in the crystals according to the shape of crown ether derivatives. The 2D weak intermolecular interactions between [Ni(dmit) 2] (-) anions in salts 1 and 3 led to Curie-Weiss behavior with weak antiferromagnetic interaction, whereas 1D interactions through lateral sulfur-sulfur atomic contacts between [Ni(dmit) 2] (-) anions were observed in salts 2 and 4, whose magnetic behaviors were dictated by ferromagnetic (salt 2) and singlet-triplet (salt 4) intermolecular magnetic interactions, respectively.     

Molecular paramagnetic semiconductor: crystal structures and magnetic and conducting properties of the Ni(dmit)(2) salts of 6-oxoverdazyl radical cations (dmit = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate)

Four kinds of 1:1 and 1:3 salts of 3-[4-(trimethylammonio)phenyl]-1,5-diphenyl-6-oxoverdazyl radical cation ([1](+)) and its mono- and dimethyl derivatives ([2](+) and [3](+)) with Ni(dmit)(2) anions (dmit = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) ([1](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) (4), [2](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) (5), [3](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) (6), and [1](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](3)(-) (7)) have been prepared, and the magnetic susceptibilities (chi(M)) have been measured between 1.8 and 300 K. The chi(M) values of salts 5 and 7 can be well reproduced by the sum of the contributions from (i). a Curie-Weiss system with a Curie constant of 0.376 (K emu)/mol and negative Weiss constants (THETAV;) of -0.4 and -1.7 K and (ii). a dimer system with strong negative exchange interactions of 2J/k(B) = -354 and -258 K, respectively. The dimer formations in Ni(dmit)(2) anions have been ascertained by the crystal structure analyses of salts 4-6. In salts 4 and 6, Ni(dmit)(2) dimer molecules are sandwiched between two verdazyl cations, indicating the formation of a linear tetramer in 4 and 6. The magnetic susceptibility data for salts 4 and 6 have been fitted to a linear tetramer model using an end exchange interaction of 2J(1)/k(B) = -600 K and a central interaction of 2J(2)/k(B) = -280 K for 4 and 2J(1)/k(B) = -30 K and 2J(2)/k(B) = -580 K for 6, respectively. The results of the temperature dependence of the g(T) value in salts 4-6 obtained by ESR measurement also support the above analyses. The 1:1 salts 4-6 are insulators. On the other hand, the conductivity of the 1:3 salt 7 at 20 degrees C was sigma = 0.10 S cm(-)(1) with an activation energy E(A) = 0.099 eV, showing the semiconductor property. Salt 7 is a new molecular paramagnetic semiconductor.

A new molecular conductor (PyH)[Ni(dmit)2]2 (dmit = 4, 5-dimercapto-1, 3-dithiole-2-thione) has been prepared and its crystal structure has been determined. Crystallographic parameters for (PyH)[Ni(dmit)2]2: C17H6NNi2S20; triclinic system; P-1 space group; a = 5.9227 (4) , b =8.2279 (6), c = 16.7535 (9) A, a = 90.233 (5) , 0 = 92.107 (6) , y= 104.654 (6) ; V= 789.25 (9) A3; Z = 1; Dc = 2.068 g/cm3; F (000) = 491. The conductivity at one direction on (001) plane at room temperature was measured to be 0.13 ii^-cmf1. The resistivity-temperature curve in the temperature range of 90-290 K shows that this compound behaves as a semiconductor.     

Magnetism of [Ni(dmit)2] salts with [meso- and (1S, 2S)-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediammonium]([18]crown-6)2 supramolecular cations

Meso- and (1S, 2S)-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediammonium (DPEDA2+) complexed with [18]crown-6 were introduced into [Ni(dmit)2]-based magnetic salts as countercations. The configurational difference of DPEDA2+ modulated the crystal structure and magnetic behavior of the salts. A two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg antiferromagnetic square lattice was observed in (meso-diphenyl-1,2-ethane diammonium2+)([18]crown-6)2[Ni(dmit)2](-)2, which was the first example of a 2D magnetic lattice in [Ni(dmit)2]- salts.

Structural phase transition of magnetic [Ni(dmit)2]- salts induced by supramolecular cation structures of (M+)([12]crown-4)2

Sandwich-type supramolecular cation structures of (M(+))([12]crown-4)(2) complexes (M(+) = Li(+), Na(+), K(+), and Rb(+)) were introduced as countercations to the [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anion, which bears an S = (1)/(2) spin, to form novel magnetic crystals (dmit(2-) = 2-thione-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). The zigzag arrangement of Li(+)([12]crown-4)(2) cations in Li(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) salt induced weak intermolecular interactions of [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) dimers, whose magnetic spins were isolated from each other. The molecular arrangements of cations and anions in M(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) salts (M(+) = Na(+), K(+), and Rb(+)) were isostructural to each other. In the case of Na(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-), the space group C2/m changed to C2/c with a lowering in temperature from 298 to 100 K. This structural change occurred at 222.5 K as a first-order phase transition. The space group C2/m (T = 298 K) in the salt K(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) also changed to C2/c (T = 100 K), which transition occurred at 270 K. Crystal structural analyses at 298 and 100 K revealed changes in both supramolecular cation conformation and [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anion arrangements. The transition from C2/m to C2/c crystals generated a dipole moment in the Na(+)([12]crown-4)(2) and K(+)([12]crown-4)(2) structures, which were reconstructed to cancel the net dipole moment of the C2/c crystals. These cation transformations led to changes in intermolecular interactions between the [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anions via structural rearrangements. The crystal structure of C2/c was stabilized in Rb(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) at 298 K. The [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) configuration in these salts with the C2/c space group was a one-dimensional uniform chain, which showed the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of a one-dimensional linear Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain.

Synthesis, structure, and conductivity of molecular conductor (PyEt)[Ni(dmit)_2]_2

A new electrical conductive crystal PyEt[Ni(dmit)2]2 (dmit=4,5-dimercapto-1,3-dithiole-2-thione) has been synthesized and its X-ray structure has been determined to be in monoclinic system, C2/c space group. In PyEt[Ni(dmit)2]2 crystal, the conducting component [Ni(dmit)2]0.5- is face-to-face packed forming molecular column along the c-direction, and these molecular columns are then side-by-side extended along the a-direction forming a kind of two-dimensional conducting sheet on (010). The measured conductivity at room temperature along a certain direction on (010) plane is 10 S .cm-1. From 282 to 269 K, the crystal shows metallic behavior but changes to semiconductor below 269 K. Based on the measured crystal structure and calculated band structure, this conductor-semiconductor phase transformation can be primarily interpreted: The metallic conductivity is corresponding to the uniform molecular column and the atomic-lattice-chain structure of Ni chain, while the semi-conductive behavior to staggered mo

Crystal structures and magnetic properties of (4,4'-phenylazophenyl)diammonium(crown ethers)[Ni(dmit)2]2 crystals

Sandwich-type hydrogen-bonded supramolecular dications (DAAz(2+))([18]crown-6)(2) and (DAAz(2+))(dicyclohexane[18]crown-6)(2) (DAAz(2+) = 4,4'-(phenylazophenyl)diammonium) were introduced into [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anions via a diffusion method to form novel single crystals (DAAz(2+))([18]crown-6)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](2) (1) and (DAAz(2+))(dicyclohexane[18]crown-6)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](2) (2), respectively, which were characterized based on their crystal structures and magnetic susceptibilities. The molecular assembly structures and its physical properties were expanded in the use of a three component molecular network system. The two ammonium groups (-NH(3)(+)) of the DAAz(2+) dication formed N-H(+)-O hydrogen-bonding interactions with the oxygen atoms of [18]crown-6 and dicyclohexane[18]crown-6. In the case of crystal 1, an alternating π-stacking interaction was observed for the [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anions, whereas orthogonal linear π-S interactions were detected for crystal 2. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibilities of crystals 1 and 2 followed the alternate Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain (J = -15.8 K) and linear Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain (J = -13.7 K) models, respectively.

Charge Carrier Doping in the Ni(dmit)2 Simple Salts by Hydrogen-Bonding Pyridinium Cations (dmit=1,3-dithiol-2thione-4,5-dithiolate)

Three kinds of the 1:1 Ni(dmit)₂ salts with 4-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium (PP), 4-[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]pyridinium (P=P), and 4-[2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl]pyridinium (P-P) cations have been prepared and structurally characterized. All of these crystals are composed of a multi-dimensional network of the Ni(dmit)₂ anions and the hydrogen-bonding one-dimensional cation chains. Compared with tight hydrogen bonds in the P=P and P-P chains, that in the PP chain is rather loose. The P=P and P-P salts show semiconducting behavior with high resistivity and large activation energy, while the PP salt shows the op-posite temperature dependence with low resistivity at high temperature. The thermoelectric power indicates that the PP salt is an n-doped semiconductor. The proton defects may occur in the loosely bound PP chain which results in the carrier doping in the conduction band formed by the π-π interaction of the Ni(dmit)₂ anion radicals.
