THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [BEDT-TTF][Ni(dmit)2]. A NEW ROUTE TO DESIGN OF ORGANIC CONDUCTORS

In the crystal of the charge transfer complex, [BEDT-TTF][Ni(dmit)2], BEDT-TTF and Ni(dmit)2 molecules are loosely stacked to form mixed-stacking columns. However, the intermolecular transverse interaction indicates that the BEDT-TTF molecules form a side-by-side chain. [BEDT-TTF][Ni(dmit)2] suggests a new route to design of organic metals, despite of its semiconductive behavior.
