New Low-Dimensional Molecular Metals: Single Crystal Electrical Conductivity of Nickel Phthalocyanine Iodide.
Abstract
The highly anisotropic and sometimes spectacular electrical, magnetic, and optical characteristics of molecular materials with strongly one-dimensional interactions have made them of great current interest to chemists and physicists. As part of our efforts to obtain a better understanding of, and chemical control over, the fundamental properties of such materials, we recently synthesized an extensive new class of highly conductive molecular solids, containing stacks of metallophthalocyanine (MPc) molecules. These were made via a preparative procedure which utilizes iodine oxidation to afford lattices composed of one-dimensional arrays of planar donor molecules (in this case MPc units) with fractionally occupied electronic valence shells ('partial oxidation' or 'mixed valence') and chains of polyiodide counterions.
