Correlation between Chemical and Physical Pressures on Charge Bistability in [Pd(en)<sub>2</sub>Br](SucāC<sub><i>n</i></sub>)<sub>2</sub>Ā·H<sub>2</sub>O
Hydrostatic (physical)
pressure effects on the electrical resistivity of a bromido-bridged
palladium compound, [PdĀ(en)<sub>2</sub>Br]Ā(Suc-C<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Ā·H<sub>2</sub>O, were studied. The charge-density-wave
to MottāHubbard phase transition temperature (<i>T</i><sub>PT</sub>) steadily increased with pressure. By a comparison
of the effects of the chemical and physical pressures on <i>T</i><sub>PT</sub>, it was estimated that the chemical pressure by unit
alkyl chain length, i.e., the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl
chains within the counterion, corresponded to ca. 1.3 kbar of the
physical pressure
New BDH-TTP/[M<sup>III</sup>(C<sub>5</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>3ā</sup> (M = Fe, Ga) Isostructural Molecular Metals
Two new isostructural molecular metalsīø(BDH-TTP)<sub>6</sub>[M<sup>III</sup>(C<sub>5</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]Ā·CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> (BDH-TTP = 2,5-bisĀ(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene,
where M = Fe (<b>1</b>) and Ga (<b>2</b>))īøhave
been prepared and fully characterized. Compound <b>1</b> is
a molecular conductor showing paramagnetic behavior, which is due
to the presence of isolated [FeĀ(C<sub>5</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>3ā</sup> complexes with high-spin <i>S</i> = <sup>5</sup>/<sub>2</sub> FeĀ(III) metal ions. The conductivity
originates from the BDH-TTP organic donors arranged in a Īŗ-type
molecular packing. At 4 kbar, compound <b>1</b> behaves as a
metal down to ā¼100 K, showing high conductivity (ā¼10
S cm<sup>ā1</sup>) at room temperature. When applying a pressure
higher than 7 kbar, the metalāinsulator (M-I) transition is
suppressed and the compound retains the metallic state down to low
temperatures (2 K). For <b>1</b>, ESR signals have been interpreted
as being caused by the fine structure splitting of the high-spin (<i>S</i> = <sup>5</sup>/<sub>2</sub>) state of FeĀ(III) in the distorted
octahedral crystal field from the ligands. At 4 kbar, the isostructural
compound <b>2</b> behaves as a metal down to ā¼100 K,
although it is noteworthy that the M-I transition is not suppressed,
even at pressures of 15 kbar. For <b>2</b>, only the signal
assigned to delocalized Ļ-electrons has been observed in the
ESR measurements
