Liquid Crystalline 3d Porphyrin Complexes
Abstract
This research is directed towards the synthesis and characterization of polymeric arrays of transition metal phthalocyanines and porphyrin complexes. Partially oxidized polymers of this type should exhibit unusual electron transport, optical, and magnetic properties. The synthesis and characterization of ruthenium and osmium porphyrin polymers bridged via bidentate ligands such as pyrazine were completed and their optical and electron transport properties were explored. The synthesis of liquid crystalline phthalocyanine or porphyrin complexes of ruthenium are still incomplete. A model EXAFS study of partially oxidized ruthenium porphyrin dimers has been completed. Keywords: Infrared absorption, Electron transport, Porphyrin, Phthalocyanine, Liquid crystal, Transition metal.
