Supramolecular cation assemblies of hydrogen-bonded (NH(sub 4)(super +)/NH(sub 2)NH(sub 3)(super +))(crown ether) in [Ni(dmit)(sub 2)]-based molecular conductors and magnets

The report stated that supramolecular cation structures of (NH(sub 4)(super +)) (crown ethers and (NH(sub 2)(super -)) NH(sub 3)(super +)) (crown ethers were incorporated into partially charge-transferred electrically conducting [Ni(dmit)(sub 2)] salts. The large and flexible [18] crown-6 allowed for maintaining the same ionic channel structure through replacement of the NH(sub 4)(super +) cation by NH(sub 2)-NH (sub 3)(super +).
