Abstract

Electrocrystallizaion of MDT-TSF (methylenedithiotetraselenafulvalene) in the presence of (n-Bu₄N)AuI₂, (n-Bu₄N)PF₆, or a mixture of Cu(SCN), KSCN, and 18-crown-6-ether as a supporting electrolyte gave (MDT-TSF)-X salts (X = AuI₂, PF₆, or Cu(NCS)₂). X-ray structural analyses revealed that the salts adopt various types of crystal structures depending on the counter anion involved; the AuI₂ salt takes a characteristic uniform stacking structure, the PF₆ salt θ-type, and the Cu(NCS)₂ salt κ-type structure. Regardless of the structure type, all the salts are highly conductive at room temperature (≥10²S cm^-1) and retain metallic down to low temperature. Of them, the AuI₂ salt having a high conductivity of 2000 S cm^-1 at room temperature showed a superconducting transition at 4.5K.
