Abstract
New layered organic conductors based on selenium- and sulfur-containing donor molecules of bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS) and deuterated bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (ET) with tetrahedral anions of divalent metals of the general formula (BETS)4HgBr4(1,2-C6H4Cl2), (ET-d8)4HgBr4(C6H4Cl2) and (ET-d8)4HgBr4(C6H5X) (where X = Cl, Br) were synthesized using halobenzenes as solvents. The crystal structure of (BETS)4HgBr4(C6H4Cl2) was studied at room temperature. A distinctive feature of the crystal structures of the compounds is the alternation of the conducting layers, which differ in direction of the radical cation stacks. The conductivity along the layers is of metallic character with the temperature decrease down to 4.3 K for (BETS)4HgBr4(C6H4Cl2) and down to 40—105 K for ET-d8-based compounds, while in the direction perpendicular to the conducting layers the conductivity is semiconducting. A comparative analysis of the temperature dependence of the resistivity for the compounds (ET)4HgBr4(Solvent) (Solvent is 1,2-C6H4Cl2, C6H5X), which are based on ET and its deuterated analog, allows one to suggest that the metal—metal phase transitions observed in the 220—285 K range are of different origin: in the compounds containing 1,2-C6H4Cl2 they are due to the ordering of solvent molecules, whereas in the compounds containing C6H5X the transitions are associated with rearrangements of the terminal ethylene groups.
