FT-IR investigations of (BEDT-TTF)2I3 radical salts

Ff-IR absorption spectroscopy of BEDT-TfF radical salts: charge transfer and donor-anion interaction

IR absorption spectra from various K-phases of BEDT·TfF radical cation salts as well as from a-(BEDT·TIFhI, arc presented. From tbese spectra one special mode l'n representing the asymmetric ring C-C stretching vibration is assigned and the dependence of its frequency from the average charge on the donor molecule is given. The investigation of the metal-insulator phase transition of a-(BEDT·TrF...

What Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...

Enantiopure and racemic radical-cation salts of B(malate)2(-) anions with BEDT-TTF.

We have synthesized the first examples of radical-cation salts of BEDT-TTF with chiral borate anions, [B(malate)2](-), prepared from either enantiopure or racemic bidentate malate ligands. In the former case only one of two diastereoisomers of the borate anion is incorporated, while for the hydrated racemic salt one racemic pair of borate anions containing a R and a S malate ligand is incorpora...

Polymorphism and Metallic Behavior in BEDT-TTF Radical Salts with Polycyano Anions

Up to five different crystalline radical salts have been prepared with the organic donor BEDT-TTF and three different polynitrile anions. With the polynitrile dianion tcpd 2− (=C[C(CN)2]3 2− ), two closely related radical salts: α'-(ET)4tcpd·THF (1) (THF = tetrahydrofurane) and α'-(ET)4tcpd·H2O (2) have been prepared, depending on the solvent used in the synthesis. With the mono-anion tcnoetOH ...
