Abstract
An organic/inorganic hybrid salt is obtained by combination of the photochr omic nitroprusside complex with the organic donor TTF. The organic part sho ws an unprecedented 2D organization formed by an orthogonal arrangement of TTF hexamers and monomers. However, the donor layers are formed by pairs of moderately interacting dimeric (TTF)(2)(2+) units surrounded by neutral TT F molecules in such a way that the charge is localized and the compound is a semiconductor. Shea contacts between the organic layers and the nitroprus side anions are present that may affect the photophysical properties of the nitroprusside. [GRAPHICS]
