Abstract
Two radical salts formed by the organic donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) and the large inorganic clusters [B10I10]2- and [P2W18O62]6- were characterized. The use of bulky inorganic anions in these materials induces unusual structural packings in the organic sublattice. In both salts, there is a high number of crystallography independent ET molecules forming exotic zigzag chains and which, in the case of the Dawson-Wells polyoxoanion, leads to the highest donor to anion ratio. In the [B10I10]2- salt, the ethylene groups of the ET molecules bend towards the I atoms to form the most hydrogen bonds. Physically, this salt is a semiconductor due to the existence of dimers of fully ionized ET molecules.
