The electric and magnetic properties of a series of highly correlated two-dimensional organic π conductors incorporating magnetic ions (Fe 3+ with S= 5 2), λ− BETS 2 FeBr x Cl 4− x [B E T S= b i s (ethylenedithio) tetraselenafulvalene, x= 0–0.8] were examined by controlling the Br content (x). A broad resistivity maximum at 100 (x≈ 0)–50 K (x≈ 0. 7) indicating the strong correlation of π conduction electrons becomes prominent with increasing x. At the same time the metal-insulator (MI) transition temperature (T MI) increases from 8.5 (x= 0) to 18 K (x= 0.7). The crystal with x= 0.8 shows a semiconductor-insulator transition around 20 K. At 0< x< 0.2, the MI transition and the antiferromagnetic (AF) transitions take place cooperatively around 8.5 K (T N≈ T MI). A large magnetization drop was observed at T MI for the magnetic field parallel to the c axis (H∥ c), which indicates the appearance of localized π spins (S= 1 2) and a strong AF coupling of π and d spin systems. For 0.3< x< 0.5, two anomalies were observed in the magnetization-temperature (M− T) curve. The high-temperature anomaly corresponds to a MI transition (T MI) and the low-temperature one corresponds to an AF ordering of the Fe 3+ spins (T N). In this case, the relatively small magnetization drop observed at T MI suggests a small coupling of π and d spin systems. For x> 0.6, the magnetization drop at T MI disappeared, which shows that the π and d electron systems are decoupled and the π electron system undergoes MI transition independently of the d spin systems. The disappearance of the susceptibility anomaly at T MI indicates that the π electron system transforms to a nonmagnetic insulating state below T MI. On the other hand, the anisotropy of M showing the development of a AF spin structure of the Fe spins was observed independently of x (0< x< 0.8). Around x= 0.3− 0. 5, the direction of the easy axis of the AF spin structure changes from parallel to the c axis (x< 0.2) to perpendicular to it (x> 0.6). In other words, the direction of easy axis is varied according to the magnitude of π− d coupling. Magnetoresistance measurements showed that T MI of λ− BETS 2 FeBr 0.7 Cl 3.3 is almost independent of the magnetic field below 1 kbar. But a field-restored highly conducting state similar to that of λ− BETS 2 FeCl 4 was observed at high pressure. The Weiss temperature (θ) estimated from the M− T curve at T MI< T< 30 K decreases with increasing x.
