Organic salts represent an ideal experimental playground for studying the interplay between magnetic and charge degrees of freedom, which has culminated in the discovery of several spin-liquid candidates such as κ-(ET)_{2}Cu_{2}(CN)_{3} (κ-Cu). Recent theoretical studies indicate the possibility of chiral spin liquids stabilized by ring exchange, but the parent states with chiral magnetic order have not been observed in this material family. In this Letter, we discuss the properties of the recently synthesized κ-(BETS)_{2}Mn[N(CN)_{2}]_{3} (κ-Mn).

We report the first highly conducting single-molecule magnet, (BEDO)[ReF]·6HO [1; BEDO = bis(ethylenedioxo)tetrathiafulvalene], whose conductivity and single-molecule magnetism coexist in the same temperature range. The compound was synthesized by BEDO electrocrystallization in the presence of (PhP)[ReF]·2HO and characterized by crystallography and measurements of the conductivity and alternating-current magnetic susceptibility.

de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of the organic metal κ-(ET)Cu(SCN) have been measured up to 55 T at liquid helium temperatures. The Fermi surface of this charge transfer salt is a textbook example of a linear chain of orbits coupled by magnetic breakdown. Accordingly, the oscillation spectrum is composed of linear combinations of the frequencies linked to the α and magnetic breakdown-induced β orbits.

Crystals of the bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS) radical cation salt with dicyanamidomanganate(II) anion, kappa-(BETS)2Mn[N(CN)2]3, were synthesized, which combine conducting and magnetic properties at ambient pressure and are superconducting (Tc approximately/= 5 K) at a moderate pressure of 0.3 kbar.

A new room-temperature metallic modification of the well known radical cation salt (ET)(2)[KHg(SCN)(4)] has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation of ET. Its crystal and electronic structure have been examined at 110 K. The salt has a layered structure in which the conducting layers are characterized by the delta-type packing.

The radical cation salt ET(NCS)0.77 [bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene thiocyanate (1/0.77)] has been prepared for the first time by electrocrystallization and its crystal and electronic structure at 110 K was investigated.
