Abstract

Any old ion? Two bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) radical salts with ion channels of stacked [18]crown-6 and Cat/H2O molecules (Cat = H3O+ or NH4+) are described. The structures contain alternating BEDT-TTF layers, [(Cat)M(C2O 4)3]2- (M = Ga, Cr) layers, and the [18]crown-6 ion channels (see picture). The salts are metallic electrical conductors, and they show high protonic conductivity.
