Abstract: | Syntheses and Properties of Molecular Conductors based on dmit isologous Chelates. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Tetramethylammonium-bis-bis(1,3-dithiole-2-selone-4,5-diselenolato)nickelate]; (CH3)4N] Ni(dsise)2]2 Syntheses and properties of dichalcogenolate chelates of the general type (CH3)4N]nML2] (n ≤ 2; M = Ni, Pd, Pt); L = dmit (1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate), dmise (1, 3-dithiole-2-selone-4,5-dithiolate), dsit (1, 3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-diselenolate), dsise (1, 3-dithiole-2-selone-4,5-diselenolate), dsis (1, 3-diselenole-2-selone-4,5-diselenolate) are reported. The effects of the chalcogen atom variation in these chelates are discussed by using UV/VIS, IR, EPR, cyclovoltammetric and conductivity data. The x-ray structure of (CH3)4N]Ni(dsise)2]2 (space group Pccn, a = 7.427(1), b = 39.144(5), c = 11.836(1) Å) and the conductivity of the crystal (12 S cm?1 at room temperature) are given. |
