Abstract

A new θ-type salt, (DIETS) 2 [Au(CN) 4 ] (DIETS = diiodo(ethylenedithio)dithiadiselenafulvalene) has been prepared. A characteristic I…N intermolecular contact (d I … N = 3.018(7) A) exists in the crystal and forms a unique supramolecular donor…anion network. Although the calculated Fermi surface is a closed two-dimensional one, a sharp metal-insulator transition occurs at 226 K. The transition temperature is lowered under high pressure, which is in contrast to the pressure effect in the conventional θ-salts of BEDT-TTF (ET = bis (ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene).
