Description

The first charge transfer salt based on non- dimerized [BEDO-TTF]+ monocationic radical (BEDO-TTF=bis(ethylenedioxy)tetrathiafulvalene) associated with [Mo6Br14]2- cluster anions has been synthesized by conventional electro-oxidation and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS-NIR absorption and magnetic susceptibility measurements. (BEDO-TTF)2Mo6Br14(PhCN)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, a=10.414(4)A, b=21.711(7)A, c=15.958(5)A, β=93.65(3)o, V=3601(2)A3, Z=2, R1=0.0578, wR2=0.0731. The structure of this hybrid compound is built up from a [BEDO-TTF]+ and PhCN (benzonitrile) organic framework in which are hosted the [Mo6Br14]2- inorganic cluster units. It results in non- dimerized [BEDO-TTF]+ cations that exhibit a paramagnetic behavior characteristic of one unpaired electron
