Incommensurate nature of the multilayered molecular ferromagnetic metals based on bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene and bimetallic oxalate complexes
The salt [ET](x)[MnRh(ox)(3)].CH2Cl2 (x = 2.526(1)) has been obtained and characterized. This paramagnetic metal is essentially isostructural to the ferromagnetic metal [ET](y)[MnCr(ox)(3)].CH2Cl2 (y approximate to 3) and provides a definite answer on the origin of the structural disorder present on such systems. As in the ferromagnetic analogue, this material shows high electrical conductivity at room temperature (13 S.cm(-1)) and metallic behavior.
