ABSTRACT
Benzenetriimide (BTI) is a promising building block for materials chemistry due to its characteristic 3-fold symmetry and redox properties, whereas little is known about its conductive and magnetic properties. In this study, we synthesized three charge-transfer complexes based on N,N',N''-trimethylbenzenetriimide (BTI-Me). One of the complexes contains isolated dimers of BTI-Me radical anion (BTI-Meâ
- ), while the other two have the infinite π-stacked array of BTI-Me with the formal charge of -0.5. The latter two complexes did not show metallic behavior but showed semiconducting behavior probably due to the characteristic insulation in one-dimensional electron system, so-called charge ordering and dimer-Mott insulation. The magnetic susceptibility of the complex in dimer-Mott state exhibits an unusual transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic spin states with the hysteresis loop of 15â
K derived from the structural phase transition around 130â
K. These properties were also supported by DFT calculations.
