Abstract

The crystal structure of γ'-(BEDT-TTF)2AuI2 (BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) is reported (orthorhombic, space group Acam, a = 12.833(22) A ̊, b = 7.738(11) A ̊, c = 34.16(4) A ̊, Z = 4). The structure type is different from other (BEDT-TTF)2X salts. There are two mirror-related donor layers per unit cell, each containing two stacks. The inclination of the ET molecules in adjacent stacks alternates in a herring-bone fashion. Band electronic structure calculations predict one-dimensional metallic behavior with associated low-temperature instabilities.
