Five kinds of (1:1), (1:3), and (2:1) salts of 3-[4-(diethylmethylammonio)phenyl]-1,5-diphenyl-6-oxoverdazyl radical cation [V](+) with M(dmit)(2) anions (M = Ni, Zn, Pd, and Pt, dmit = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) ([V](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) (1), [V](+)[Ni(dmit)(2)](3)(-) (2), [V](+)(2)[Zn(dmit)(2)](2-) (3), [V](+)(2)[Pd(dmit)(2)](2-) (4), and [V](+)(2)[Pt(dmit)(2)](2-) (5)) and an iodide salt of [V](+) ([V](+)[I](-) (6)) have been prepared, and the magnetic susceptibilities (chi(M) values) have been measured between 1.8 and 300 K. The chi(M) of the (1:1) Ni salt (1) can be well reproduced by the sum of the contributions from (i) a Curie-Weiss system with a Curie constant (C) of 0.376 K emu/mol and a negative Weiss constant (theta) of -1.5 K and (ii) the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic alternating chain system with 2J(A-B)/k(B) = -274 K (alternation parameter alpha = J(A-C)/J(A-B) = 0.2). The chi(M) of the (1:3) Ni salt (2) can be well explained by the two-term contributions from (i) the Curie-Weiss system with C = 0.376 K emu/mol and theta = -5.0 K and (ii) the dimer system with 2J/k(B) = -258 K. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 were discussed based on the results obtained by crystal structure analysis and ESR measurements of 1 and 2. The chi(M) values of the (2:1) Zn, Pd, Pt salts 3, 4, and 5 and [V](+)[I](-) salt 6 follow the Curie-Weiss law with C = 0.723, 0.713, 0.712, and 0.342 K emu/mol and theta = -2.8, -3.1, -2.6, and +0.02 K, respectively, indicating that only the spins of the verdazyl radical cation contribute to the magnetic property of these salts. The salts 1, 3, and 5 are insulators. On the other hand, the conductivity (sigma) of the Ni salt 2 and Pd salt 4 at 20 degrees C was sigma = 8.9 x 10(-2) and 1.3 x 10(-4) S cm(-)(1) with an activation energy E(A) = 0.11 and 0.40 eV, respectively. The salts 2 and 4 are new molecular magnetic semiconductors.
