New charge-transfer salts based on unsymmetrical donor DMET and metal complex anions: (DMET)(3)[Cr(isoq)(2)(NCS)(4)] and (DMET)(3)[Cr(phen)(NCS)(4)]center dot CH3CN
Two charge-transfer salts (DMET)(3)[Cr(isoq)(2)(NCS)(4)] (1) and (DMET)(3)[Cr(phen)(NCS)(4)]-CH3CN (2) have been prepared and characterized. The single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed that the structures of both salts consist of segregated columns of DMET and metal complex anions. The magnetic and transport properties have shown that these salts are paramagnetic semiconductors.
