Abstract
The family of organic conductors perylene2[M(mnt)2] (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate) has been studied for more than fifteen years, since the Cu and Ni compounds were reported to be semiconductors by Alcácer and Maki [1,2]. Subsequent work paid special attention to the Au, Pt and Pd compounds [3–9], that exhibit quasi one-dimensional metallic behaviour down to a temperature TMI, where a metal-insulator transition occurs. These compounds crystallize in space group P21/c [3,8], and the b axis is the high-conductivity direction (σ∥/ σ⊥≈ 103).
