“…Furthermore, the development of a solution chemistry of large, isostructural and isosteric chalcohalide metal cluster anions such as Re 6 Q 5 Cl 9 - , − Re 6 Q 6 Cl 8 2- , , (Q = S, Se), has offered unique opportunities for the construction of novel families of cation radical salts based on TTF, TMTTF, DTTTF, or BEDT-TTF. Of particular interest is the series of two-dimensional phases formulated as β-(BEDT-TTF) 4 [Re 6 Q 6 Cl 8 ]·(solvent), (Q = S, Se; solvent = DMF, THF, dioxane, H 2 O), whose macroscopic metallic properties may be fine-tuned from the neutral molecular (solvent) guest site upon significant manipulation of the collective response of a precise set of C−H π - donor ···O guest hydrogen bonds. , Polyoxometalate anions also offer a large number of counteranions of various shapes and magnetic states for the elaboration of molecular materials by electrocrystallization, as recently reviewed by Coronado and Gómez-García .…”
