D. Le Pevelen et al., TTF based molecular magnets: Structural and physical properties of new salts involving the [Cr(NCS)(4)(phen)](-) anion, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1842-1843
Our group has recently focused on obtaining new molecular magnets based on
radical BEDT-TTF or TTF derivatives. In these series, the aim is to combine
the magnetic and conducting properties in the same material via the radica
l donor, We report here the structural and the physical properties of three
salts with donors TTF (ferrimagnetic insulator), TMTTF; (antiferromagnetic
insulator) and TMTSF (paramagnetic semiconductor), containing the Reinekes
anion derivative [Cr(NCS)(4)(phenanthroline)]. The role of the crystal pac
king in determining the physical properties is discussed.
