Short and directional I⋯S halogen bonding interactions in iodinated bis(dithiolene) complexes lead to the crystallization of 2D or 3D anionic frameworks.

Neutral, closed-shell nickel and platinum bis(dithiolene) complexes are explored as single-component conductors. Four complexes formulated as [Ni(R-thiazdt)2]0 and [Pt(R-thiazdt)2]0 (R-thiazdt: 2-alkyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate; R = Me, Et) were obtained by electrocrystallization from...

Nickel (closed-shell) or gold (radical) bis(dithiolene) neutral complexes, functionalized with hydroxyethyl and thiazole moieties, afford hydrogen-bonded single component conductors.
