Tetrazine-Bridged Phthalocyaninato Metal Complexes: A New Class Of Intrinsic Semiconductors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
Stacked transition Metal Macrocycles [Macm (L)]n with M e.g. Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh and Mac = phthalocyanine (Pc) 1,2- or 2,3-naphthalocyanine (1,2-, 2,3-Nc) have been synthesized by us. The bridging ligands (L) are e.g. pyrazine (pyz) or s-tetrazine (tz). In general, these complexes [Macm (L)]n are insoluble in organic solvents, however, soluble oligomers [R4Pcm (L)]n can be prepared using Metallomacrocycles RnPcm, R = t-bu, et, OR, M = Fe, Ru, which are substituted in the périphérie positions.
A systematic investigation of the influence of the bridging ligánds on the semiconducting properties in [Macm (L)]n reveal, that changing L, e.g from dabco over pyz to tz leads to a steady increase of the semiconducting properties without external oxidative doping. Powder conductivities in the order of 0.1 S/cm can be reached by using s-tetrazine, 3,6-dimethyl-j-tetrazine (Me2tz) and others, e.g. fu marodini tri le as the bridging ligands. The intrinsic conductivities are a result of the low oxidation potential of tz and Me2tz and due to the low lying LUMO in the corresponding bridged systems [Macm (tz)]n.
The electrical and physical properties, especially the UV and the Möβbauer spectra for the tetrazine-bridged Macrocyclic Metal complexes are discussed in respect to intrinsic semiconducting properties of these compounds.
