Single-component Magnetic Molecular Conductor [Fe(dmdt)2] (dmdt: dimethyltetrathiafulvalenedithiolate).

Molecular metal complexes with interactions between localized spins and conduction electrons are expected to show interesting electronic and magnetic properties. We prepared magnetic molecular conductors of iron complexes with extended TTF ligands and investigated their crystal structures and electronic and magnetic properties, from which we concluded that the single-component molecular iron complex has the dimeric form of [Fe(dmdt)₂].
