Supramolecular architecture, crystal structure and transport properties of the prototypal oxobenzene-bridged bisdithiazolyl radical conductor

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c3cc46686h

Supramolecular CH...π interactions cause a ruffling of the otherwise coplanar ribbon-like arrays of radicals in the structure of the oxobenzene-bridged bisdithiazolyl 1a. The material displays a conductivity σ(300 K) = 6 × 10^-3 S cm^-1 (E_act = 0.16 eV) and orders antiferromagnetically below 4 K. At applied fields above 1 kOe the material displays metamagnetic behavior. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
