ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING MU-(1,4-DIISOCYANOBENZENE)-2,3-NAPHTHALOCYANINATOIRON(II)

The synthesis of mu -(1,4-diisocyanobenzene)-2,3-naphthalocyaninatoiron(II), left bracket NcFe(dib) right bracket //n (1), is reported. 2,3-Naphthalocyaninatoiron(II), NcFe (2), was prepared first using a new approach. From 2, the monomeric complex bis(1,4-diisocyanobenzene)-2,3-naphthalocyaninatoiron(II), NcFe-(dib)//2 (3), was formed by direct treatment with dib and its physical data were compared with 1. All compounds were characterized by TG/DTA measurements, Ir and elemental analyses. The undoped polymer left bracket NcFe(dib) multiplied by 0. 3CH//3COCH//3 right bracket //n (1b) exhibits a dc dark conductivity of 4 multiplied by 10** minus **3 S/cm; doping of 1 with iodine leads only to a minor conductivity increase.
