The gold complexes n-Bu4N[Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (5), n-Bu4N[Au(dtpdt)2] (4) and n-Bu4N[Au(tpdt)2] (6) based on new dithiothiophene ligands (alpha-tpdt= 2,3-thiophenedithiolate, dtpdt=2,3-dihydro-5,6-thiophenedithiolate and tpdt = 3,4-thiophenedithiolate) have been prepared and characterised. These gold(III) complexes are diamagnetic, but they can be oxidised with iodine to the paramagnetic compounds [Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (8), [Au(dtpdt)2] (7) and n-Bu4N[[Au(tpdt)2]n-2] (9), which were isolated as fine powders and which exhibit paramagnetic susceptibilities that are almost temperature independent with room temperature values of 2.5 x 10(-4), 2.0 x 10(-4) and 5 x 10(-4) emu x mol(-1), respectively. Interestingly, the neutral complex [Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (8) as a polycrystalline sample displays the properties of a metallic system with a room temperature electrical conductivity of 6 S x cm(-1) and a thermoelectric power of 5.5 microVK(-1); this is the first time that this metallic property has been observed in a molecular system based on a neutral species.
