La. Kushch et al., THE M(DDDT)(2) FAMILY OF CONDUCTING COMPLEXES - [NI(DDDT)(2)](3)(AUBR2)(2), THE FIRST QUASI-2-DIMENSIONAL METAL STABLE DOWN TO AT LEAST 1.3K, Journal of materials chemistry, 5(10), 1995, pp. 1633-1638
The first stable molecular metal, [Ni(dddt(2)](3)(AuBr2)(2), among the
M(dddt)(2) family of conducting charge-transfer salts has been prepar
ed and its crystal structure has been solved by X-ray analysis. The or
igin of the metallic conductivity of [Ni(dddt)(2)](3)(AuBr2)(2) as wel
l as the stability of this salt with respect to metal-to-insulator tra
nsitions is explained on the basis of tight-binding band structure cal
culations.
