The reaction of dimethylthio- (
1) and ethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalenothioquinone-1,3-dithiolemethides (
2) withCuBr
2 gave 1:1 complexes between the donors and CuBr
2,
1·CuBr
2 and
2·CuBr
2, in which the Cu atom of CuBr
2binds to the thiocarbonyl S atom in
1 and
2. The electrical conductivity (
) of
1·CuBr
2 at room temperature wasca. 10
-5 S cm
-1, while a comparatively high value of 4.0 S cm
-1 was obtained for
2·CuBr
2, whose temperaturedependence of
exhibited, however, semiconducting behavior with a very small activation energy of 0.18 eV.The observed paramagnetic susceptibilities (
p's) of the Cu complexes were composed of both a component dueto the localized Cu spins obeying the Curie-Weiss law and a temperature-independent
p due to the conducting
electrons on the
1- or
2-stacked columns. From the Curie constants obtained, the degrees of intramolecularelectron transfer from
1 and
2 to CuBr
2 moieties were estimated at ca. 90% and 60%, respectively. The small,negative Weiss temperatures suggest very weak antiferromagnetic interactions among the Cu spins on the CuBr
2moieties.
