Abstract

To obtain novel single-component molecular metals, we attempted to synthesize several cobalt complexes coordinated by TTF (tetrathiafulvalene)-type dithiolate ligands. We succeeded in the syntheses and structure determinations of (ⁿBu₄N)₂[Co(chdt)₂]₂ (1), (ⁿBu₄N)₂[Co(dmdt)₂]₂ (2), [Co(dmdt)₂]₂ (3), and [Co(dt)₂] ₂ (4) (chdt = cyclohexeno-TTF-dithiolate, dmdt = dimethyl-TTF- dithiolate, and dt = TTF-dithiolate). Structure analyses of complexes 1-4 revealed that two monomeric [Co(ligand)₂]^- or [Co(ligand)₂]⁰ units are connected by two Co-S bonds resulting in dimeric [Co(ligand)₂]₂^2- or [Co(ligand)₂]₂ molecules. Complex 1 has a cation-anion-intermingled structure and exhibited Curie-Weiss magnetic behavior with a large Curie constant (C - 2.02 K·emu·mol^-1) and weak antiferromagnetic interactions (θ = -8.3 K). Complex 2 also has a cation-anion-intermingled structure. However, the dimeric molecules are completely isolated by cations. Complexes 3 and 4 are single-component molecular crystals. The molecules of complex 3 form two-dimensional molecular stacking layers and exhibit a room-temperature conductivity of σ_rt = 1.2 × 10^-2 S·cm^-1 and an activation energy of E_a = 85 meV. The magnetic behavior is almost consistent with Curie-Weiss law, where the Curie constant and Weiss temperature are 8.7 × 10^-2 K·emu·mol^-1 and -0.85 K, respectively. Complex 4 has a rare chair form of the dimeric structure. The electrical conductivity was fairly large (σ_rt = 19 S·cm ^-1), and its temperature dependence was very small (σ_0.55K/σ_rt = ca. 1:10), although the measurements were performed on the compressed pellet sample. Complex 4 showed an almost constant paramagnetic susceptibility (χ_{300 K} = 3.5 × 10^-4 emu·mol^-1) from 300 to 50 K. The band structure calculation of complex 4 suggested the metallic nature of the system. Complex 4 is a novel single-component molecular conductor with a dimeric molecular structure and essentially metallic properties down to very low temperatures.
