Abstract
The molecular metals BET2[MCl4] with M = Fe, Ga (see article title for BET) have been prepared and their structural, transport, and magnetic properties investigated. It is shown that the conducting layers of th e organic donor BET are interleaved by the inorganic ions, which are f airly well isolated from each other in the crystal. However, in the ca se of the Fe, the ions are found not to be magnetically isolated but c oupled by exchange interactions. A mechanism is suggested to account f or the observed Fe-Fe interaction in this magnetic molecular metal.
