0.5 whose X-ray crystal structures are described.The intercalation of the tetrahedral anions within the organic slabs and the resulting slidingof the molecular diads on top of each other give rise to both 1D- and 2D-type HOMO···HOMO interactions whose origin is correlated with the details of the peculiar overlap patternsobtained with those dimeric tetrathiafulvalenes. The weak paramagnetism observed in theGaCl
4- salt due to the organic spins of the conducting slabs is hidden in the FeCl
4- salt bythe
S = 5/2 Fe(III) contribution. The absence of sizable magnetic interactions between theorganic and FeCl
4- sublattices is accompanied by weak antiferromagnetic FeCl
4-/FeCl
4-interactions, attributable to a short Cl···Cl interanion distance at 3.419(17) Å.
