Crystal structure and physical properties of BEDT-TTF (bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) salt coupled with a photo-sensitive transition metal complex
A new salt of BEDT-TTF with photo-sensitive transition metal complex [RuCl5(No)](2-) has been synthesized. The crystal structure was determined and attributed to the kappa-type salt. Although calculated band structure shows two dimensional Fermi surfaces and predicts a metallic behavior, the resistivity shows semiconducting temperature dependence up to 6 kbar. Both the ESR signals of BEDT-TTF+ and NO. exhibited a photo-induced effect.
