Structural and physical properties of molecular metals based on BEDO-TTF

Preparation, characterization, and physical properties of several metallic bis(ethylenedioxy)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDO-TTF) complexes are presented. The direct reaction with chloranilic acid (H2CHA) gave 2:1 complex, the crystal structure of which consists of two-dimensional (2D) donor layer and 1D stack of deprotonated acceptor molecules. The electrocrystallization of the donor in the presence of MnBr42− and water yielded a novel salt with four components, (BEDO-TTF)2Br[MnBr2(H2O)4](H2O), which contains 2D donor layers and localized magnetic moments (S = 52).
