Abstract: A new charge transfer complex of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, (BEDT TTF)4·H2O·Fe(C2O3)3·C6H5NO2, were prepared, and its crystal structure and physical properties were determined. The crystal structure of the complex has been refined in the C2/c space group, the unit cell parameters: a=1.031(8) nm, b=2.014(8) nm, c=3.534(4) nm, β=9.221(9)°, Z=4, R=0.065. Successive layers of BEDT-TTF and layers of and approximately hexoganal geometry containing alternating H2O and Fe(C2O4)33- were formed, with C6H5NO2 lying within the hexagonal cavities. The BEDT TTFadopts the β packing, the charge of BEDT TTFestimated from the C=C and C—S bond lengths is +3/4 . The complex is a semiconductor with σr.t.=10 S·cm-1 . The ESRspectra of the complex shows only one signal with the line width Δ H=3.81×10-4 T, which indicates that there may be some interaction between the conduction electrons and the 3d5 electrons of Fe3+ .
