Lk. Montgomery et al., SYNTHESIS AND PRELIMINARY CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW CONDUCTING SALTS DERIVED FROM BIS(ETHYLENEDITHIO)TETRASELENAFULVALENE (BETS), Synthetic metals, 85(1-3), 1997, pp. 1521-1522
Nine new conducting salts of BETS have been synthesized by electrocrys
tallization. The resistivities of these materials have been monitored
to low temperatures. The resistivities of alpha-(BETS)(2)MHg(SCN)(4) (
M = NH4 and K), which are isostructural with well known BEDT-TTF (ET)
compounds, decrease smoothly and monotonically from room temperature t
o 0.4 K, but neither are superconductors. X-ray structural data are re
ported.
