Highly Conducting, Iodine-Doped Fluoroaluminum and Fluorogallium Naphthalocyanine Polymers.
Abstract
Methods for the preparation and some of the properties of the new compounds fluoroaluminum and fluorogallium 2,3-naphthalocyanine are described. It is clear on the basis of the data gathered that these fluorides are composed of chains having metal-fluorine backbones and cofacial rings. A procedure for the preparation of iodinated species from these fluorides and some of the properties possessed by these species are described. Of particular interest are the relatively high conductivities they show when they have moderate iodine contents. It is concluded that they contain cationic chains having metal-fluorine backbones and cofacial rings, triiodide and pentaiodide ions, and, possibly, uniodinated chains. Additional conclusions related to the ability of these species to conduct are discussed. Factors which in general may or do influence the conductivity of cofacial conducting polymers are also discussed. (Author)
