Summary

This article reports that a charge-transfer salt exhibits both electron and ion conductivity: the stacks of the nickel complex provide a pathway for electron conduction, and stacks of the crown ethers provide channels for lithium-ion motion. Evidence for the latter above 250 K is provided by NMR and conductivity studies. The article also see evidence for coupling of the electron and ion motions.
