Syntheses, structures and physical properties of palladium complexes with an extended-TTF dithiolate ligand, bis(di-n-propylthiotetrathiafulvalenedithiolato)palladate
New palladium complexes with an extended-TTF ligand, ((Bu4N)-Bu-n)[Pd(C3-tdt)(2)] and [Pd(C3-tdt)(2)] were prepared and their crystal structures were determined. The magnetic susceptibility of ((Bu4N)-Bu-n)[Pd(C3-tdt)(2)] gave good agreement with the Bonner-Fisher model (J = -16 K), suggesting anions form approximately a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chain. Neutral [Pd(C3-tdt)(2)] was a semiconductor with a room temperature conductivity of ca. 10(-2) S.cm(-1).
