The 2:1 charge-transfer (CT) salts (

4) of ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide (
1) with FeBr
4- and GaBr
4- counteranions were obtained as needle crystals, whose structures arealmost the same as each other. The
1 molecules form a one dimensionally stacked column with alternation of theirmolecular axis direction, while the counteranions are aligned in parallel with the
1-stacked columns with the directionof their distorted-tetrahedral geometry maintained. The room-temperature electrical conductivities measured on thesingle crystals of
12·FeBr
4 and
12·GaBr
4 were 4.6 and 2.1 S cm
-1, respectively. From the temperature dependencesof their electrical conductivities in both cases the electrical conducting properties were metallic between ca. 170and 300 K, but below ca. 170 K converted to be semiconducting and continued till 5 K, although the activationenergies are very small (4-10 meV). For
12·FeBr
4 very weak and antiferromagnetic interaction occurred betweenthe d spins of FeBr
4- ions in the temperature range of ca. 1-300 K. However, below ca. 15 K the ferromagneticinteraction was reversely preferential possibly by participation of the
spin of
