Conductors Based on Neutral Metal Bis-Dithiolene Complexes

4 Conductors Based on Neutral Metal Bis-Dithiolene Complexes 

During the synthesis of [TTF][Ni(dmit)2] by slow interdiffusion of acetonitrile solutions of [TTF]3[BF4]2 and [Bu4N][Ni(dmit)2], a few crystals whose morphology (platelet) was different from that (needle) of the majority of the species were recovered. The room temperature conductivity of these crystals (3.5 x 10 S cm ) was significantly different from the value obtained for [TTF][Ni(dmit)2]2 (300 S cm ). These crystals were finally characterised by crystal structure determination as the neutral complex [Ni(dmit)2]. In the neutral phase, the [Ni(dmit)2]
