Abstract
Metal bis(quinoxaline-2,3-dithiolate) complexes, M(qdt)(2), were used as co unterions of radical-cation salts commonly employed in the preparation of o ne-dimensional conductors. We report the synthesis of the new complex Au(qd t)(2)(-) as the tetraphenylphosphonium salt and the preparation of (bedl-tt f)M(qdt)(2), (tmtsf) M(qdt)(2) and (ttf)M(qdt)(2) with M=Au and Cu, and (tt f)(3)[Ni(qdt)(2)](2) Their electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power were measured showing in all cases activated behaviour, with room temperat ure values of a ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-3) S cm(-1), the highest value b eing for (bedt-ttf)Au(qdt)(2) which has a gap 2 Delta=0.32 eV. Preliminary E.S.R results for (ttf)Cu(qdt)(2) are also presented.
