Single-component Layered Molecular Conductor, [Au(ptdt)2]

Abstract

Abstract A single-component layered molecular conductor, [Au(ptdt)2] (ptdt: propylenedithiotetrathiafulvalenedithiolate) was prepared. Unlike the single-component molecular metal, [Au(tmdt)2] (tmdt: trimethylenetetrathiafulvalenedithiolate) exhibiting three-dimensional compact molecular packing and antiferromagnetic transition at 110 K, the compressed pellet of the microcrystals of [Au(ptdt)2] exhibited fairly high conductivity and small temperature-independent paramagnetic susceptibility.
