Abstract:
The -(BETS)2C(CN)3 radical cation salt was prepared by electrocrystallization, and its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The electronic structure of -(BETS)2C(CN)3 was studied by means of the extended Hückel tight binding method. The electrical conductivity of this salt as a function of temperature shows a metallic behaviour down to 1.3 K. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations reveal both the classical and magnetic breakdown orbits on the Fermi surface typical of the -type organic conductors. In addition, a low frequency oscillation (250 T) which is not predicted by the band structure calculations has been found in the oscillation spectrum.
