Item Open Access Excited electronic states of flavin-containing coenzyme models(1988) Gückel, Friedemann; Schweitzer, Dieter; Becker, Katja; Schirmer, Rolf Heiner; Zipplies, Matthias F.; Staab, Heinz A.In order to gain further insight into the physical basis of flavin-catalyzed reactions, the interactions of a flavin with a second flavin and with other aromatic ring systems were studied. For this purpose compounds through 1 were synthesized These compounds contain the interacting units in defined geometric orientation. A monomeric flavin and glutathione reductase a flavoenzyme of known active-site chemistry, were included as reference molecules. The present report deals with excited triplet states of the flavin compounds as studied by optical spectroscopy and optically detected magnetic resonances (ODMR) at 1.3K.Item Open Access Metallic coordination polymers using CS2 as starting material(1987) Keller, Heimo J.; Klutz, Thomas; Münstedt, Helmut; Renner, Gerd; Schweitzer, DieterOrganic polymers with "metallic" properties have found widespread interest during the last few years. Acetylene and aniline as well as different nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles have been used as starting materials. One main problem hampering the technical application of these solids up to now is their environmental and thermal instability. Therefore, we introduced metal ions to stabilize polymeric backbones with high electrical conductivity. Because of the enormous coordination ability of sulfur to many transition metal ions we decided to use a polymeric carbon-sulfur backbone.Item Open Access Organic metals from chiral BEDT-TTF donors(1991) Chen, Ben-ming; Deilacher, Frank; Hoch, Matthias; Keller, Heimo J.; Wu, Pei-ji; Gärtner, Stephan; Kahlich, Siegfried; Schweitzer, DieterWe have shown that is is possible to obtain organic metals from chiral molecules. The X-ray results prove an oxidation number of + 1.5 for the radical cations in at least two cases. To our best knowledge. these are: the first examples of BEDT-TTF-related radical cation salts with this oxidation number. As expected, we obtained statistically disordered crystals, containing the two different enantiomers in a "racemic" mixture. The broad smeared-out phase transitions are probably due to this disorder, or may be caused by the three-dimensional interactions which have been observed, so far, only once in a BEDT-TTF radical salt. We will crystallize the metallic compounds using "optically pure" isomers, in the hope to be able to isolate chiral metals.Item Open Access ODMR of triplet states of organic electron donors(1986) Grimm, Hans; Schweitzer, Dieter; Hausser, Karl H.; Keller, Heimo J.Energies of the first excited triplet states and triplet zero field splitting parameters /D/ and /E/ of several organic donors - usually used for the preparation of organic metals and superconductors - are reported.Item Open Access BEDT-TTF radical salts: organic metals and superconductors(1987) Schweitzer, DieterA review of the structural, electronic and superconducting properties of some BEDT-TTF-radical salts is given.Item Open Access Proton relaxation in the superconducting organic solid (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2: evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centers(1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, DieterThe nonexponential character of the build-up of the nuclear magnetization usually increases on lowering the temperature. Superconducting fluctuations have been offered in a speculative way as an explanation for the nonexponential spin relaxation. We have observed the same relaxation behaviour in our investigation of the proton spin relaxation in (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 which is an organic conductor at room temperature and becomes a superconductor at Tc=10.4 K at ambient pressure. As we noticed during preliminary measurements that the degree of deviation from exponential relaxation depends on the sample under study we decided to do experiments under controlled conditions of sample preparation.Item Open Access Spectroscopic properties of kekulene(1981) Schweitzer, Dieter; Hausser, Karl H.; Diederich, Francois; Staab, Heinz A.; Vogler, HelmutKekulene [1,2] is the first example of a new class of aromatic compounds in which the annelation of six membered rings leads to a cyclic system enclosing a cavity with hydrogen atoms.Item Open Access Molecular metals and superconductors: BEDT-TTF radical salts(1987) Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.The first discovery of superconductivity in an organic metal - in the radical salts of TMTSF (tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene) - under pressure and ambient pressure has demonstrated that in addition to the usual intrastack contacts between the donor molecules in quasi one dimensional metals intermolecular contacts between molecules in neighbouring stacks are important. These interstack contacts result in a less pronounced one dimensional electronic behaviour leading to a stabilization of the metallic character down to low temperatures.Item Open Access Bulk superconductivity at ambient pressure in polycrystalline pressed samples of organic metals(1990) Schweitzer, Dieter; Kahlich, Siegfried; Gärtner, Stephan; Gogu, Emil; Grimm, Hans; Zamboni, Roberto; Keller, Heimo J.Bulk superconductivity in polycrystalline pressed samples of αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and βp-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 is reported. This finding shows that organic superconductors can be used in principle for the preparation of electronic devices and superconducting cables.Item Open Access Transport properties of single crystals and polycristalline pressed samples of (BEDT-TTF)2X salts and related coordination polymers(1991) Schweitzer, Dieter; Kahlich, Siegfried; Gärtner, Stephan; Gogu, Emil; Grimm, Hans; Heinen, Ilsabe; Klutz, Thomas; Zamboni, Roberto; Keller, Heimo J.; Renner, GerdTen years ago in 1979, superconductivity was observed for the first time in an organic metal. today, about 30 different organic metals are known, which become superconducting under pressure or ambient pressure. The organic superconductors with the highest transition temperatures are all radical salts of the donor bis(ethylenedithioio)-tettathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF), namely at ambient pressure (BEDT-TTF)2CU(NCS)2 (Tc = 10.4 K) and αt,-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 (Tc = 8 K) and under isotropic pressure β H- (BEDT-TTF)2I3(0.5 kbar, Tc = 7.5 K) The latter β H-phase can even become superconducting at 8 K and ambient pressure, after a special pressure-temperature cycling procedure i.e. pressurization up to 1 kbar at room temperature, and release of the helium gas pressure at temperarures below 125 K. Nevertheless, this superconducting state at 8 K in β H-(BEDT -TTF)2I3 is only metastable , since warming up the crystal above 125 K and cooling down again under ambient pressure, results only in superconductivity at 1.3 K, the so-called β L - or β-phase.
