Abstract

New bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS) based radical cation salts with chloromercurate anions have been prepared by electrocrystallization. The salt (BETS) 4Hg 3Cl 8 is metallic down to 32 K, at lower temperatures the resistance grows smoothly being lower than the starting value. The salt (BETS) 4Hg 2Cl 6(C 2H 5Cl) x , x∼1, undergoes a metal-to-insulator transition near 100 K. The crystal structure of (BETS) 4Hg 3Cl 8 is formed by the layers of the BETS radical cations of the κ-type packing and inorganic layers composed of the [Hg 2Cl 6] 2− anions and the HgCl 2 molecules.
