J. Morgado et al., NEW COMPOUNDS BASED ON TETRATHIAFULVALENE AND AU(PDS)(2)(-), PDS EQUALS PYRAZINE-2,3-DISELENOLATE, Synthetic metals, 86(1-3), 1997, pp. 2187-2188
The preparation and electrical and magnetic properties of the new comp
ounds (TTF)(3) [Au(pds)(2)](2).2.8 CH2Cl2 and (TTF)[Au(pds)(2)] are re
ported. In the first compound there are segregated stacks of TTF, arra
nged as trimers. (TTF)[Au(pds)(2)] has an unusual anisotropic magnetic
behaviour and the EPR studies suggest that there are stacks of TTF mo
lecules along the crystal axis. (TTF)[Au(pds)(2)] is a poor semiconduc
tor (rho = 1.06 x 10(4) Omega.cm, at room temperature), with an activa
tion energy of 0.245 eV.
