A new radical cation (ET)(5)[Dy(NCS)(6)NO3].C2H5OH salt was prepared by ele
ctrochemical oxidation of ET in a chlorobenzene-ethanol solution. Its cryst
al structure and conducting properties were examined. The salt has a layere
d crystal structure with a basically new packing type of the radical cation
layer, which was called an co-type. Resistance studies reveal a semiconduc
ting nature of this salt. (C). 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
