N. Kobayashi et al., Synthesis, electrical properties of a novel Ni-dithiolene complex with dimerized structure, SYNTH METAL, 120(1-3), 2001, pp. 1055-1056
A novel dimerized Ni-dithiolene complex, (n-Bu4N)(2)[Ni(dmit)(i-mnt)](2), w
as synthesized and characterized by X-ray structure analysis. In this compl
ex two [Ni(dmit)(i-mnt)l units were mutually connected by two long axial Ni
-S bonds. The single crystals of BEDT-TTF and TTF salts with [Ni(dmit)(i-mn
t)](2)(2-) were prepared by electrocrystallization and characterized by X-r
ay analysis. The Ni-S bonds of each dimer were also retained in both salts.
Both salts exhibited semiconducting behavior with the room-temperature res
istivity rho (rt) / Omega cm = 10(2), 10(3), respectively.
