Abstract

Abstract New synthetic routes to bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS) were explored, starting from tetraselenafulvalene (TSF). Several radical cation salts of TSF and BETS were prepared by electrocrystallization. A new kappa phase salt of BETS, K-(BETS)2GaCl4, displayed an interesting resistance-temperature profile from 300-35K.
