T. Hiejima et K. Yakushi, PRESSURE-INDUCED CHARGE-TRANSFER IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL PHTHALOCYANINE CONDUCTOR, NIPC(ASF6)(0.5), Solid state communications, 95(10), 1995, pp. 661-666
Pressure dependence of optical absorption spectra was measured for (ph
thalocyaninato)-nickel hexafluoroarsenate, NiPc(AsF6)(0.5). Under high
pressure we found an intramolecular charge transfer from the central
metal ion to the macrocycle, that is, from the metal d-band to the mac
rocycle pi-band. According to the electron-filling process into the cc
-band, a metal-insulator transition without accompanying a lattice dis
tortion was observed.
