Crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination have been obtained from
the electrocrystallisation of BMDT-TTF donor, bis(methylenedithio)tetrathi
afulvalene, with (N-quinolinium)[Cr(NCS)(4)(quinoline)(2)], although, due t
o a ligand exchange during the electrocrystallisation, it has been found th
at the product is in fact (BMDT-TTF)(4)[Cr(NCS)(6)]. In this salt the anion
s and the donors form segregated layers. A salt from BMDT-TTF and (N-isoqui
nolinium)[Cr(NCS)(4)(isoquinoline)(2)] has also been prepared. Raman, EPR a
nd NIR measurements have also been carried out.
