Semiconductor properties in an iodine-doped platinum(II) dinuclear complex
The complex [{Pt(trpy)}(2)(mu -Me(2)dicyd)] [PF6](2), where trpy is 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine and Me(2)dicyd(2-) is 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-dicyanamidebenzene dianion, has been synthesized. Upon doping with iodine, conductivity maxima occur at stoichiometries of [{Pt(trpy)}(2)(mu -Me-2-dicyd)][PF6](2). [I-3](x) of x = 0.8 (sigma = 8 muS cm(-1)) and 1.3 (a = 39 muS cm(-1)). [GRAPHICS]
