(CV+)[Ni(dmit)2]·1/2(C6H 6) (1) and (BF+)[Ni-(dmit)2] (2) (dmit = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato, CV+ = cation of Crystal Violet, BF+ = cation of Basic Fuchsin) were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystal structural analysis. In the crystal structure of 1, the Ni(dmit)2 unit was bent at Ni in a V shape with an angle of 13.7° and tetrahedral distortion of 8.8° around Ni was also present that originated from the steric effect of the propeller-shaped CV cation. In the case of 2, BF and [Ni(dmit)2]- formed an independent stacking column in which [Ni(dmit)2]+ were stacked alternately rotated with an angle of 90° to each other. 1 and 2 exhibited semiconducting behavior with roomtemperature conductivities of 2:9 × 10-7 and 9:0 × 10-5 S cm-1, respectively.
