Abstract:

In order to study the relationship between structure and conductivity, ten new organometallic radical ionic salts. [CpFeBz]_n[M(mnt)₂] and [CpFeBz]_n[M(dmit)₂] (M=Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Co; Cp=Cydopentadienyl; Bz=Benzene; H₂mnt=maleonitriledithiole; H₂dmit=4,5-dimercapto-1, 3-dithioie-2-thione; n=1 or 2), were synthesized according to a new synthetic route. They were characterized using elemental analysis, infrared and ¹H-nuclenr magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy. The crystal structure of [CpFeBz]₂[Ni(mnt)₂] was determined using X-ray diffraction. The electrical conductivity of siolid stale was reported. Gomplexes of [CpFeBz]_n[M(mnt)₂] showed a low conductivity, while complexes of [CpKeBz]_n[M(dmit)₂] exhibited a rather high conductivity in the range of 10^-1-10^-2S·cm^-1.
