Abstract

The salt [ET]x[MnRh(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (x = 2.526(1)) has been obtained and characterized. This paramagnetic metal is essentially isostructural to the ferromagnetic metal [ET]y[MnCr(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (y approximately equal 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.
