Abstract

We report the first highly conducting single-molecule magnet, (BEDO)₄[ReF₆]·6H₂O [1; BEDO = bis(ethylenedioxo)tetrathiafulvalene], whose conductivity and single-molecule magnetism coexist in the same temperature range. The compound was synthesized by BEDO electrocrystallization in the presence of (Ph₄P)₂[ReF₆]·2H₂O and characterized by crystallography and measurements of the conductivity and alternating-current magnetic susceptibility.
