Abstract

Supramolecular CHπ interactions cause a ruffling of the otherwise coplanar ribbon-like arrays of radicals in the structure of the oxobenzene-bridged bisdithiazolyl . The material displays a conductivity σ(300 K) = 6 × 10(-3) S cm(-1) (Eact = 0.16 eV) and orders antiferromagnetically below 4 K. At applied fields above 1 kOe the material displays metamagnetic behavior.
