Abstract: Chemical oxidation of bis(ethylenesithio)tetrathiafulvalene(BEDT-TTF or ET, C/sub 10/S/sub 8/H/sub 8/) in benzonitrile solution by slow diffusion of iodine vapor produces a mixture of black lustrous crystals. These include the well-known ..cap alpha..- and ..beta..-(ET)/sub 2/I/sub 3/ phases, delta-(ET)I/sub 3/ and epsilon-(ET)/sub 2/(I/sub 3/)(I/sub 8/)/sub 0.5/, as well as a new phase, zeta-(ET)/sub 2/(I/sub 3/)(I/sub 5/). Data are presented for single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies, and the crystal structure is discussed. Although the mat...
