Abstract
New ${\pi }$ - d interacting system based on brominated TTF-type donor EDT-TTFBr 2 (= 4,5-dibromo-4 $^\prime $,5 $^\prime $ -ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene) was investigated. Magnetic (EDT-TTFBr 2)2FeBr 4 and non-magnetic (EDT-TTFBr 2)2GaBr 4 are isostructural salts, which have strong anion-donor interaction through Br-Br atomic contacts with weak direct anion-anion interaction. The iron salt takes an antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 11 K owing to strong ${\pi }$ - d interaction, which originates from the strong anion-donor interaction. The strong ${\pi }$ - d interaction also plays an important role in the electron transport phenomenon in the variation of temperature and applied magnetic field. Key words. ${\pi }$ - d interaction - negative magnetoresistance - organic magnetic conductor.
