TWO-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER OF CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC CONDUCTOR, (BMDT-TTF)3PF6(1,2-DICHLOROETHANE)

In the crystal of (BMDT-TTf)3PF6(1,2-dichloroethane) (BMDT-TTF=bis(methylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene), there are two crystallographically independent BMDT-TTf molecules whose molecular planes are approximately perpendicular to each other.This new type of molecular arrangement achieves the two-dimensional S...S network.

Synthesis, crystal structure and electrochemical properties of [NBu4][Ni(mdt)2]: A potential precursor for new materials (mdt = 1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate)

Reaction of methylenedithio-1,3-dithiol-2-one with sodium methanolate resulted in the anionic ligand mdt2- (mdt = 1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) which has been co-ordinated to nickel. The salt [NBu4][Ni(mdt)2] was successfully crystallised and its crystal structure showed that the Ni(mdt)2 unit is significantly distorted from planarity. Electrochemical studies showed that [NBu4][Ni(mdt)2] can be further oxidised in two steps via the neutral [Ni(mdt)2] complex to a partially oxidised positively charged complex. The neutral complex has also been successfully synthesized by oxidation with TCNQ. The redox potential of the oxidation from the neutral to the partially oxidised positive Ni(mdt)2 complex is relatively low, +0.60 V, making this compound a promising precursor for the preparation of conducting materials, based on derived cation radical salts.

1,3-Dithiol-4,5-dithiolate and 5,6-Dihydro-1,4-diselenin-2,3-dithiolate Nickel Complexes

With the goal of obtaining new ethylenedithiolate transition metals complexes, unstable tetrabutylammonium bis(1,3-dithiol-4,5-dithiolato)niccolate(III) and stable tetrabutylammonium bis(5,6-dihydro-1,4-diselenin-2,3-dithiolato)niccolate(III) were synthesized. The two complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and IR and electron absorption spectroscopy, and the second, also by voltammetry. A new convenient procedure was proposed for preparation of 1,3-dithiol-2-thione which is a key initial compound in the synthesis of the title complexes.
