Electroconducting Radical-Cation Salts Based on Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives and Transition Metals Bis(dicarbollides)

摘要

The radical-cationic salts based on tetrathiafulvalene derivatives and bis(dicarbollide) transition metal complexes [3,3-M(1,2-C2B9H11)(2)](-) (M = Co, Ni, Fe, Cr) are promising for the creation of new molecular conductive materials due to the almost unlimited possibilities of their modification. The relationships between the properties of both components of the cation-radical salts, their crystal structure, and electrical and magnetic properties have been analyzed on the basis of the literature and our own data. The effect of various substituents in metallacarborane anions on the structure and physical properties of their radical cation salts based on tetrathiafulvalene and its derivatives has been revealed. Data on the structure and properties of the radical cation salts with other borate anions are presented for comparison.
