Abstract
Bridged macrocyclic transition metal complexes using phthalocyanine, tetrabenzoporphyrine and naphthalocyanine as macrocycles e.g. [PcML] n with M = Fe, Ru, Co and L = e.g. pyz, dib, tz, SCN-, CN- have been synthesized and their electrical properties were studied in detail. Regardless of the bridging ligand stable semi-conducting compounds are formed after doping with iodine or electrochemical doping. Some of these shish-kebab polymers e.g. [PcM(tz)] n , M = Fe, Ru or e.g. [PcML] n , M = Fe, Co; L = CN-, SCN- exhibit good semi-conducting properties without additional external doping. Their conductivities are comparable to the iodine doped bridged metallomacrocycles [MacMLI y ] n . The mechanism of the formation of the bridged shish-kebab macrocyclic metal complexes has been studied by spectroscopic methods, mostly using 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
