Abstract

Naphthalocyanines (Nc) are ideal molecular conductors due to their fully conjugated r-system. Attachment of a central metal (Co) and dicyano (CN) axial ligands in Nc produced CN-bridged cobalt naphthalocyanine, a skewered-type polymer complex. The polymeric species enabled intra-chain electron transport through the CN bridge by which, coupled with the inter-chain T-T overlaps, produced a multi-dimensional electronic system. This molecular design has increased the electrical conductivity by 5-orders relative to the monomeric CoNc) with di-axial CN complex.
