Cl. Yang et al., SYNTHESIS AND CONDUCTIVITY OF A NEW SERIES OF ORGANOMETALLIC CHARGE-TRANSFER SALTS, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 16(11), 1995, pp. 177-181
In order to study the relationship between structure and conductivity,
ten new organometallic radical ionic salts, [CpFeBz](n)[M(mnt)(2)] an
d [CpFeBz](n)[M(dmit)2] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Co; Cp = Cyclopentadienyl
; Bz = Benzene; H(2)mnt = maleonitriledithiole; H(2)dmit = 4,5-dimerca
pto-1, 3-dithiole-2-thione; n = 1 or 2), were synthesized according to
a new synthetic route. They were characterized using elemental analys
is, infrared and H-1-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The crys
tal structure of [CpFeBz](2)[Ni(mnt)(2)] was determined using X-ray di
ffraction. The electrical conductivity of solid state was reported. Co
mplexes of [CpFeBz](n)[M(mnt>(2)] showed a low conductivity, while com
plexes of [CpFeBz](n)[M(dmit)(2)] exhibited a rather high conductivity
in the range of 10(-1)-10(-1) S . cm(-1).
