Abstract

We synthesized a novel iodo-bridged linear chain platinum compound, having the quasi-two-dimensional charge−density−wave (CDW) ground state and the smallest band gap. In this compound, we discovered an anomalous valence state in the boundary region at which the CDW phase alternates in the crystal by means of ESR, X-ray diffuse scattering, STM, and electrical resistivity. This anomalous state can be explained by the fast fluctuation between PtIV−I···PtII and PtII···I−PtIV in the double well potential. This is the first observation of the dynamical fluctuation of the CDW phase among the quasi one-dimensional halogen-bridged complexes.
