Rp. Shibaeva et al., CRYSTAL AND BAND ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURES OF THE SEMICONDUCTING PHASE INTHE RADICAL-CATION SALT (ET)(2)TLHG(SE1-XSXCN)(4) (X = 0.125), Crystallography reports, 42(5), 1997, pp. 778-782
The crystal structure of (ET)(2)TlHg(Se0.875S0.125CN)(4) (a 14.777(4),
b = 13.672(6), and c 20.35 12(6) Angstrom; beta = 82.13(2)degrees; V
= 4081 Angstrom(3); sp. gr. P2(1)/a; and Z = 4) has been determined by
X-ray diffraction analysis. It is demonstrated that the radical catio
n layers in these semiconducting crystals have a structure similar to
that of conducting layers in the organic metal of the composition (ET)
(4)Cl-2.4H(2)O. The band structure of the crystals is calculated. It i
s assumed that the semiconducting phase can be transformed into a meta
llic one.
