Abstract: | Crystal structures and electrical properties of radical-cation salts of the chiral organic donor TMET (S,S,S,S,-bis-(dimethylethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) are described. Two structural types, 2:1 with octahedral anions Pf, AsF, SbF, I (incommensurate), and 3:2 with tetrahedral anions BF?4, CIO?4, ReO?4 are observed. Resistivity measurements between 2 and 298 K indicate that the 3:2 types are organic metals, while the other compounds are semiconductors. (TMET)3(CIO4)2 is metallic down to about 120 K at ambient pressure and remains metallic down to 2 K at 8 kbar. |
