Structural analysis of (perylene)Co-bis(maleonitriledithiolate)(CH2Cl2)0.5 crystals derived from the electrocrystallization of perylene and (n-C4H9)4N(Co mnt 2) revealed the presence of both molecular stacks and dimerized polymeric Co(mnt)2 chains in the crystal arrangement. This formation contributed to the high electrical conductivity of the compound. Moreover, electrical transport measurements at room temperature showed that electrical conductivity and absolute thermopower featured metallic properties at elevated temperatures.
