Abstract
The title complex was synthesized by the reaction of copper(I) iodide and tetrakis(ethylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (TTC2-TTF) in acetonitrile under argon atmosphere. The new compound, [(CuI)2TTC2-TTF], crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/m with unit-cell dimensions a = 9.843(2), b = 12.946(2), c = 10.079(1) A, β = 99.91(1)°, V = 1265.2(4) A3, and Z = 2. It is a neutral 2 : 1 (metal/ligand) complex in which each metal ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by two bridging iodide ions and two sulfur atoms from TTC2-TTF to form coordination polymeric chains. The average Cu–I and Cu–S bond lengths are 2.601 and 2.369 A, respectively. The complex was doped with iodine to afford [(CuI)2TTC2-TTF]I1.5 which exhibits a conductivity of 2 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 25 °C for a compacted pellet.
